Frontier Students Excel At State Competition

Students from Frontier School demonstrated outstanding achievement at the National History Day state competition held on April 25 in Bozeman.

Each year, students select topics connected to an annual theme and present their work in categories such as exhibits, documentaries, websites and essays.

This year’s theme was “Reaction, Revolution, Reform.” The program strengthens critical thinking, research skills and historical writing.

At the state competition, Frontier students earned recognition across multiple categories: In the essay category, Braylee Baker earned alternate honors. In the exhibit category, Mariah Lewis earned alternate honors, and Maxton Moran qualified for the national competition. In documentaries, Gabe Uy earned alternate honors.

In websites, Frontier students swept the category, with Fredrich Savior earning alternate honors, and James Payne and Cash Matejovsky qualifying for nationals.

The Montana State National History Day Competition brought together students from across the state to showcase their research and projects in Bozeman. Students who qualify will advance to the National History Day Competition held at the University of Maryland from June 14–18. This national event brings together top student historians from across the United States and beyond. Alternates may still have the opportunity to advance to the national level, with final decisions expected in the coming week.

Frontier School congratulates all students who dedicated time, e_ort, and creativity to their projects. Their accomplishments reflect excellence in historical thinking and academic achievement.
