MKA Senior, Julia Randall, Has Her Thesis Selected For Publication In The Concord Review

MKA Senior, Julia Randall, will have the honor of seeing her junior independent history thesis, Steward of the People: Theodore Roosevelt versus the Trusts published in the Summer 2016 issue of The Concord Review. Founded in l987, this prestigious publication recognizes exemplary history essays by high school students in the English-speaking world, and is distributed to 44 states in the U.S. and in 38 countries around the world. Julia is the eighth MKA student to be published in the Concord Review in the last nine years.

Upper School History Department Chair David Korfhage says, "I'm very proud of Julia's achievement. Her paper tackles an important historical issue, one with contemporary relevance, and does so with sophistication and insight. The history department is also proud to have another student paper published in the Concord Review, which we view as a testament to the strength of our history research program."

The Junior History Research Project is an alternative to the traditional American History AP course and requires every member of the junior class to spend six months conducting independent, in-depth research, using both primary and secondary sources, into an aspect of American history, prior to writing a thesis which can range anywhere from 3200 - 6500 words.

Congratulations to Julia on this tremendous accomplishment!
