Warwick students show work for National History Day

Three students from Warwick’s Gorton Junior High School have been selected to present their projects reflecting this year’s National History Day theme at the national competition next week.

Stephen Deming and John Nunes comprise one of 12 teams selected to present their work next Wednesday at the Nan Tucker McEvoy Auditorium in Washington, D.C. They’ll present the project, “They slipped the surly bonds of Earth to Touch the face of God – The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger,” according to a release issued early this morning by National History Day.

Nolan Kiernan is among six students selected to present their projects next Thursday at the National Museum of Health and Medicine. His project is “The flu pandemic of 1918: The greatest American tragedy.” His documentary suggested the flu pandemic was the greatest American tragedy because more people died as a result of the outbreak than any other tragedy, including the Civil War, World War I, World War II and the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
