History & Science Fairs

Every year, Holy Nativity Episcopal Middle School students have the opportunity to participate in Florida History Fair/Florida History Day through the local Tom Barefield History Fair district competition. This competition enhances the teaching and learning of history by promoting the student's opportunity to do original research about people, ideas and events of the past. This year's National History Day theme is "Taking a Stand in History". Students at HNES have the option to present their research findings either competitively or noncompetitively, while choosing from a wide-spectrum of format categories including a paper, exhibit, performance, documentary or website. This opens up a student's opportunity to learn in a variety of ways resulting in improved writing, analyzing, and critical thinking skills. All Sixth graders at HNES are required to complete a History Fair Project. Seventh graders must complete a Science Fair Project, but may also choose to submit a competitive History Fair Project, while Eighth graders have the choice of completing either a History Fair or Science Fair Project. Designated class time is provided to all Middle School students to work on their projects under the guidance of a teacher, although all projects are independently researched and student driven.
