Eureka City Schools students excel at the Humboldt History Day competition

Zane students win in ten categories & Alice Birney students compete for the first time


March 12, 2024 - Eureka, CA - Eureka City Schools (ECS) is excited to announce that its students performed exceptionally well in the Humboldt County History Day competition held on March 2, 2024. Zane Middle School students won a total of fifteen awards across ten different categories, while Alice Birney Elementary participated in the event for the first time.


Each spring, students in 4th grade through high school compete in Humboldt County History Day, held at Cal Poly Humboldt and hosted by the Humboldt County Office of Education (HCOE). 


The 2024 contest theme was Turning Points in History. 


A turning point is an idea, event, or action that directly, or sometimes indirectly, causes change. The National History Day® (NHD) 2024 contest theme invites students to consider questions of time and place, cause and effect, change over time, and impact and significance.


County winners will have the opportunity to compete in the National History Day California State Finals, which will take place in Sacramento from April 19-21, 2024. Over 1,600 students compete at the state contest each year. California champions will advance to the national competition that occurs in Maryland in June.

Get ready to put on your dancing shoes and swing those hips! The Eureka High School Jazz Ensemble is hosting a Swing Dance on Saturday, March 9, 2024, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The event will take place in the EHS Cafeteria, and the Jazz Ensemble will provide swing music for your entertainment. Admission to the event is $15.

"The Jazz Ensemble plays a variety of musical styles. Most of our music is focused on swing, but you'll also be able to dance to ballads, waltzes, and even some Latin grooves," said Music Teacher Chris Cox. "So bring your dancing shoes. The floor is ready for you."

The EHS Jazz Ensemble has provided music for the annual swing dance for 30 years. In years past, it was called "Dancing and Delectables" and included food and an auction. This year's event is all about the music and dancing.  

Cox adds, "The dance is open to anyone, regardless of experience. You'll see beginning dancers next to amazing dancers who participate in competitions. Experienced swing dancers and local dance instructors often attend and are known to give tips and tricks on how to improve your dancing experience." 

The fundraiser will help the EHS Jazz Ensemble with travel expenses, music, and equipment needed to run the band.

Support the EHS Jazz Ensemble and have some fun this Saturday night!
