History Club

History is the story of the past. The club's major concern is evidence on primary sources. These sources include letters, official documents, articles, poems, memoirs and photographs. Club members will choose projects that piece together verifiable facts in order to find out not only what happened, but why it happened as it did. A possible project this year is the creation of an art mural based on photos and documents of the historic sites and locations of Bellport.  Members of the club will work closely with the Bellport Historical Museum.

The Bellport High School History Club will be hosting two question and answer sessions featuring local Candidates for the House of Representatives.  On Thursday, October 16th at 9:00AM, challenger Lee Zeldin will come to the high school library to answer questions from our students about pressing federal issues.  On Monday, October 20th at 9:00AM, Congressman Tim Bishop will do the same.  Club members and other interested students are excited about the prospect of having these current and prospective legislators make time to discuss the topics that shape the 2008 election.
