About 2026 Kansas History Day

Achievements by the community’s young historians are recognized with awards through the National History Day competition on February 27th. The 2026 theme is “Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History.” Each year, the Kansas District 6 competition is hosted by Friends University and supported by the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum.  Area students complete projects in one of five categories: documentary, exhibit, paper, performance, or website. After completing their project, students compete at the local level. The top students from all 50 states, D.C., U.S. territories, and international schools are invited to compete in the National Contest.
