Congratulations to Camilla B. of Saint Gabriel Classical Academy, Izabella S. of Manitou Springs Middle School, and Sophia M. of Lewis Palmer Middle School for making it to the 2025 State-Level National Civics Bee Competition! These are three out of fifteen students selected thus far from around the state as finalists.
According to the Colorado Chamber Foundation, over 300 students across the state submitted essays to enter the regional competitions. Students participated in live quiz events and were pressed on their civics knowledge by panels of judges before being selected to move to the state competition. The competitions across Colorado are meant to inspire middle schoolers to become better informed about American democracy, to engage respectfully and constructively in the community, and to build greater trust in others and institutions.
