SJHS History Projects

The Stuttgart Junior High held their History Project competition that will see them moving on to the Region 4 History Day Contest at UAM on March 11th. They will be competing against Clarendon and Pine Bluff.

William Washburn and Virginia Cagle are the sponsors of the event. According to Washburn, “We will be focusing on taking the feedback from our judges and refining our projects to get them in shape to compete against Pine Bluff and Clarendon.”
