12th Grade
California
What does America mean to you? That’s the question a record number of students in grades 3–12 answered as part of America’s Field Trip, a nationwide scholastic contest from America250.
With submissions representing all 50 states, 5 U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia, 150 students were selected by a panel of current and former educators for their inspiring work. Seventy-five first-place awardees will embark on once-in-a-lifetime field trips to some of America’s most iconic historic and cultural landmarks this summer. Another seventy-five students were named second-place awardees, each receiving a $500 prize.
This is the second year America250 has recognized America’s Field Trip awardees, building on the success of our pilot program and reaffirming our commitment to educate, engage, and unite students as we prepare to celebrate America’s Semiquincentennial.
