This year has been difficult for everyone around the world. At History Heard, following CDC guidelines, we've suspended in-person interviews until further notice. Despite setbacks, we've been hard at work planning for the future, and we are excited to announce our exceptional student leadership and management team for 2020 - 2021!

November 2019
I'm proud, excited, and a little bit nervous to assume the responsibility of Global Student Director for the coming year. I intend to lean heavily on the expertise of my fellow Student Directors throughout the coming year.
My goal is to increase the global expansion of this amazing project by developing student and teacher interest beyond the current countries which generally participate. My personal interests are focused on modern social conflicts, the resulting plight of refugees, and the global women's movement. But the unique nature of History Heard allows all students to share first person stories relating to their interests. Your contribution could be related to sports, entertainment, or a hundred other parts of "history."
So thank you so much for your support and confidence . . . now let's get to work!

September 2019
This is a challenge every organization wishes it would face: the qualified and commited student candidates for the coming year's leadership team was almost too strong and diverse! As History Heard has grown from a United States based effort to a truly global endeavor, we are excited to see involvement growing from every corner of the planet.
To continue this growth and development, we are excited to announce that the Global Student Director of History Heard for the 2019 - 2020 school year will be Laura Salem.
Laura is currently a senior at Ecolint, a school in Geneva, Switzerland. Laura brings a unique global perspective to History Heard as her family lives in both Europe and South America. She is currently assembling a team of Student Directors who will help her lead History Heard into the future. Good Luck Laura!
At this time we'd also like to extend, once again, our sincere thanks to Rebe Cires who led History Heard last year. This month, Rebe will begin studying law at university in Madrid, Spain! She has promised to continue helping History Heard in the future. For all of your past effort, thank you Rebe! We're confident that you will become one of Europe's outstanding attorneys!

This month, the History Heard leadership team is meeting to map out our proposed goals for the coming year and to select a new leadership team. With a growing group of outstanding and committed student talent spread around the globe, selecting a leadership team for the 2019 - 2020 school year will be a difficult challenge. What seems clear is that the coming year will see continued growth for this important project. If you would like to offer suggestions or other input to guide us as we assemble the new leadership team, please email us!
