The 2020-2021 theme was Communication in History: The Key to Understanding. &#8220;I believe that NHD is a terrific challenge for our gifted learners at MPA. The NHD process helps our students to develop their ideas and voice\u2014 an important milestone, as NHD describes, in becoming an independent critical thinker,&#8221; O&#8217;Grady explains. This passion for teaching combined with nationally recognized expertise led O&#8217;Grady to successfully coach seven of his students to represent Ohio at the national NHD exhibition last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. O&#8217;Grady joined the MPA in 2017 after introducing the National History Day curriculum to Rocky River middle and high school students. In the past, NHD selected O&#8217;Grady for summer teacher institutes to study WWII in Normandy, France, and WWII in the Pacific, in Oahu, Hawaii\/Pearl Harbor. O&#8217;Grady is honored to participate in this year&#8217;s interactive opportunity stating that &#8220;one of the best things about these summer teacher institutes is the opportunity to network with history teachers from around the country.&#8221; O&#8217;Grady and 29 other history teachers from 18 states will travel to Providence, Rhode Island, to engage in activities organized by the Rhode Island Historical Society, with the ultimate goal of submitting lesson plans for an upcoming NHD publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teachers are always looking for ways to expand their areas of expertise and pedagogy to create a supportive learning environment for their students. Menlo is fortunate that Frank O&#8217;Grady is a three-time NHD recognized teacher, continuing his education while inspiring excellence in his classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About National History Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhd.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National History Day<\/a> is a non-profit education organization based in College Park, Maryland.
