The Lassen County Office of Education (LCOE) is excited to once again welcome 4th grade students from across the region to the annual California History Day on Thursday, April 23, 2026, at the Lassen County Fairgrounds. This hands-on event invites students to explore California’s rich and diverse past through engaging activities, interactive exhibits, and immersive learning experiences.
“We are thrilled to continue providing students with hands-on opportunities to connect with California’s past,” said James Hall, Director of Student, Family and Community Engagement at LCOE. “Events like History Day make learning meaningful, relevant, and fun.”
