Guam History Day, a Guam Preservation Trust and University of Guam Micronesian Area Research Center project based on National History Day, was initiated by stakeholders of historic preservation as a strategic element in the development of a community action to protect and preserve Guam's historic sites, culture, and perspectives for the benefit of Guam's people and future.

Guam History Day is not just one day, it's a yearlong program that involves middle and high school students as they creatively develop their perspectives of Guam's history through research and reading, presentations in writing, visual projects, and performance.

2024 Theme
Turning Points in History

Picture
Each year, National History Day® frames students’ research within a historical theme. The theme is chosen for broad application to world, national, or state history and its relevance to ancient history or to the more recent past. To celebrate its 50th anniversary, NHD’s theme will be Turning Points in History. This year’s theme invites you to consider questions of time and place, cause and effect, change over time, and impact and significance.
