The middle school essay contest will be for 7th and 8th grade and will be based on the choice of 1 of 2 themes: either "The Causes of South Carolina's Secession from the Union" or "The Causes of the Firing on Fort Sumter." The high school essay contest will be for students of US History and will be based on the same theme choices as the middle school contest. All entries are due to the respective district office no later than 3 PM April 1, 2011. All entries will be judged and prizes will be awarded in the form of savings bonds.
