May 6, 2025: Rights and Responsibilities in History

By South Haven History Club Students

To celebrate the 50th anniversary, the National History Day’s theme will be “Rights & Responsibilities in History”. This year’s theme invites students to consider questions of time and place, cause and effect, change over time, and impact and significance. The key to this theme is addressing BOTH rights AND responsibilities. These are two powerful forces in history, but one does not work without the other. -NHD.org

History teacher, Julie Sheppard, will bring students to the Scott Club to present their contest theme projects. This is an opportunity for the students to present in front of a live audience. Please join us to encourage them on to state and national competition!

The South Haven Scott Club was organized in 1883 as a reading circle and has been providing cultural events to the community ever since then in its Michigan historic site. Located at the corner of Phoenix Road and Pearl Street in South Haven, Scott Club is a stately Queen Anne style building of sandstone capped by a cupola of carved oak. Two historic windows of Austrian stained glass frame our east and west walls and serve as a cultural icon to the east entrance to the city.
