Eleven projects by Cherokee County School District students are headed to the Regional Social Studies Fair!
Through the annual CCSD Social Studies Fair program, students in grades 5-12 have the opportunity explore an area of social studies and complete a research project individually or as part of a team. Categories for projects include anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science and sociology/psychology. The students then present their projects for review by judges at the fair, which was held earlier this month at Woodstock High School. Top scoring projects earned first place and advancement to the regional fair to be held in the spring.
“This annual competition provides our students with an excellent opportunity to hone their research skills and learn more about the world around them today and its history,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian V. Hightower said. “This year’s entries impressed me with their topics and high quality of research and writing. Congratulations to all of our winners and best wishes to those advancing to the regional competition!”
