Latest on State and Regional Social Studies Fairs . . .


Regional and State Social Studies Fairs have been postponed to school year 2022-23.


The fairs are funded by the in-person GCSS conference, which will not take place this school year.


We encourage teachers to have students maximize the extra time by stretching out each step of the
process in anticipation of entering thorough, well-developed projects next year. Stay tuned for
suggestions on how that might be done to be posted on this website.


Our directors and judges miss the interaction with the students but look forward to next year!
