Student History Fair 2024
“Turning Points in Texas History”
Every year the Texas Heroes Foundation hosts a Student Texas History Fair around Texas’ Independence Day in order to promote Texas Education and appreciation in our community. We are proud to announce this coming year’s theme for the Student Texas History Fair; Turning Points in Texas History.
Students in grades 3rd -12th in and around Hood County are invited to enter in one of five categories: Performance, Exhibit, Artwork, Research Paper or Creative Writing Paper. The students’ projects should be centered around the theme and will be judged according to the rules and criteria.
There are two deadlines; the first is for the Research and Creative Writing Papers on Friday, February 2rd, the second is for Exhibits, Artwork and Performances on Sunday, February 25th from 3pm-5pm OR Monday, February 26th from 5pm-7pm. All entries must submit ONE Registration form prior to the deadline. Research and Creative Writing Papers can be attached to the Registration form, mailed or e-mailed. Please see the Rules attached for more details.
Every year for the past 12 years, the Texas Heroes Foundation has given out thousands of dollars in awards and scholarships during the Student History Fair Awards Ceremony. This year’s Awards Ceremony will be held on Friday, March 1st at the Acton United Methodist Church at 6:30pm starting with a reception from 5:30pm to 6:15pm.
NEW THIS YEAR: Teachers, just for you! You will have multiple opportunities to win $100. Every project registered and participating in the Student Texas History Fair will earn their teacher a chance in the drawing. Winners will be chosen at the Awards Ceremony.
