After a stellar showing in the National History Day citywide competition, Manhattan Day School eighth graders continued to exhibit their strengths and talents at the state level. MDS had the best showing and placement of all middle schools in New York State with seven finalists and two special awards, including one entry qualifying to compete in the National Competition.
