OLD Tah
The Teaching American History (TAH) grant program offered by the US Department of Education is designed to raise student achievement by improving teachers' knowledge and understanding of and appreciation for traditional U.S. history. Local education agencies apply for the grants in partnership with universities, non-profit history or humanities organizations, libraries, or museums. FHC has been a partner on several successful Teaching American History grants awarded to Florida school districts and has provided contracted programming to many others.
