How did the students in Monticello prepare?

According to the Monticello Central School District Facebook Page, the students placed first or second in their respective categories at the Mid-Hudson Regional History Day Competition. These students did a ton of research and their hard work payed off because they made it all the way to the state level.

What was the theme of the research?

The theme was 'Frontiers in History, People, Places and ideas'. It was no easy task to part on any of this, the students presented their research to different students and academic professionals from across the state. Most students are not looking to take on extra work and these students should be commended for their dedication.
