South Callaway students in seventh and ninth grade hosted an exhibition of their history projects, which focused on the Holocaust and genocide, at the middle school on Thursday.

The exhibit was the final aspect of a project based learning unit on genocide. Several of the student's projects were submitted to the regional National History Day competition. The competition's theme this year was legacy and leadership. Those students will take their exhibits to the regional competition next week.
