Battery Creek High team advances to National History Day with Harriet Tubman exhibit

Students from Battery Creek High School will compete in the National History Day competition in Myrtle Beach after the bulletin highlighted their award-winning exhibit on Harriet Tubman’s impact on the Lowcountry.

Students and teachers described the project as visually strong; judges told the team their exhibit was "phenomenal" visually but encouraged the group to work on presentation fluency so the verbal delivery matches the exhibit’s quality. A speaker in the bulletin summarized the teaching process used to prepare an interpretive piece about what Harriet Tubman might have said to newly freed people near the Tabernacle Church downtown.

The bulletin directs viewers to the full National History Day competition video on the Beaufort County Schools YouTube channel for the team’s presentation.
