On Saturday, March 9th, the South Haven History Club represented our district with pride at the regional competition at Western Michigan University. An impressive 17 out of 19 projects were selected to advance to the state competition at Central Michigan University in April.
To be a History Club member, students dedicate their time and talents outside of school to pursuing important historical topics. It takes hours of research, practice, and hard work. The projects are extensive and educational. We couldn't be more proud of all our History Club Scholars and encourage the community to view them while they are being showcased at the Scott Club and Liberty Hyde Bailey Museum (information to come).
