Sophomore Sirena Roberts received an
Honorable Mention for her documentary “Diamond Darlings:
Striking out for inequality as well as eighth grader Kaylee
Britt for her Individual Performance “Bird Woman: A Shoshone
Inspiration”.
The students were accompanied by
teachers Zach Shepler and Randy Nissen and Toledo Early
College principal Karen Berman.
Every freshman and sophomore at Early
College is required to create an NHD project; entering the
contest is optional. Project categories include exhibits,
websites, documentaries and performances. One hundred-twenty
six students represented the school at the regional contest
at BGSU in April where thirty-six qualified for the state
contest.
“National History Day allows students
to conduct deep research on a topic of their choice”, said
Mona Al-Hayani, Ohio Teacher of the Year, “Loren did a great
job on her website.” Loren Willhight added, “I gained many
insights about the remarkable career of Nina Simone. Her
life was full of ups and downs.”
A GoFundMe (TEC NHD 2019) has been set
up to help Loren and her mother travel to the national
contest. ### FOR MORE INFORMATION Randy Nissen TEC History
