Many teachers, parents, school administrators, and community members find National History Day to be an exemplary program for implementing educational reform and raising education standards. For example, the state of Washington has approved National History Day as an assessment tool for teachers to use to meet state required social studies classroom-based assessments. The Aldine Independent School District in Houston, Texas has included National History Day as a required part of its curriculum.
