Teacher's Main Page
Congratulations and thank you for sponsoring students advancing to the Arkansas State History Day Contest!
Your Teacher Account Lasts All Year
Because you already created a Teacher Account for your NHD Regional Contest, you will not need to create another teacher account. That account is good for one whole contest year. Once your student has advanced from the Regional contest to the State contest, your NHD Teacher Account will automatically transfer to this State contest platform. Once that transfer has taken place, you will be able to view your student list at any time by logging into this contest platform.
Judge Evaluations
Students and teachers will be able to view and download the judges' evaluation forms directly from this contest platform after the State contest is finished and the award ceremony has been held.
