Students shine at history competition
Three Columbus North High School students won awards at the National History Day in Indiana state contest April 23 in Indianapolis.
Yefim Margovskiy won first place in the Senior Individual Website category and is eligible to compete in the Kenneth E. Behring National History Day competition in June at the University of Maryland. Drew Bieger and Albert Zang won third place in the Senior Group Website category and could be the runner-up group for the June competition if the second-place finisher cannot attend.
The state competition, hosted by the Indiana Historical Society, strives to boost history education. Students study a historical subject then apply their knowledge to create a project.
