BLYTHEWOOD – Blythewood High School students senior
Kelvin (KJ) Mack, and juniors Madison Kelly and Nicholas Orr were winners in
the paper category of Monday’s National History Day Midlands Regional held at
the South Carolina State Museum. The paper category involves the creation of an
original research paper of over 2,300 words in length with over 50 sources used
in their paper.

out of over 70 entries, selected to go to the state competition next month at
Westwood High School. This makes the
second year in a row that BHS has earned the top three spots to be chosen for
the state competition.
“Our students continue to amaze,” Social Studies
teacher Scott Auspelmyer said. “I’m proud
their hard work is being recognized in our classrooms, our school, our
district, and also our state.”
