Student Voices

What is your project about?
“Our project is about the Vietnam War and how it impacted our nation greatly through revolutions, reactions, and reforms. It is also important to note that it was a useless war since nobody won in the end, and the goal we were trying to prevent ended up still happening.”
— Dante Tamez

What was your favorite part of the project?
“My favorite part was putting everything together when we were designing and building the board. I enjoyed adding the TV on the outside and all of the mechanisms for it.”
— Jonathan Ogendiz

What is the next step for the team?
“The next step is to make the changes that the state provides us to improve our exhibit, and then we compete at the National History Fair in Washington, D.C. from June 14–18.”
— Erick Vicente

From the Sponsor

“Watching my students grow through History Fair has been incredibly rewarding. Since September, I’ve seen their dedication, resilience, and teamwork as they took feedback, refined their projects, and gave up their own time to improve. Sharing the moment of their advancement to nationals with them truly warmed my heart. Now, we’re ready to take that same passion to nationals and bring home a win for Hambrick.”
— Mrs. Angela Medel

Looking Ahead

The students’ exhibit stood out for its depth of research, engaging presentation, and strong connection to this year’s theme. Advancing to the national level is an exciting opportunity, and we are confident that they will continue to represent our school with excellence.

Please join us in congratulating these students and wishing them the best of luck as they compete on the national stage in Washington, D.C. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and look forward to all they will accomplish!
