Calling All Middle School Students!
Share your ideas and show off your citizenship skills in the National Civics Bee
About the bee
The Katy Area Chamber Civics Bee is one of many National Civics Bee competitions promoted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation. At least 100 local middle school students will participate in a first-round essay competition. Judges will select 20 to go to the final round: a live quiz event testing civics knowledge. Winners will be recognized in their communities and receive prizes.

Why Civics?
We believe that informed and active citizens make for a strong country, a strong economy, and a strong workforce, and that our continued prosperity depends on the strength of all three. The National Civics Bee is a way to promote greater civics knowledge and civic participation across the country, and to energize our community with a celebration of civic pride.
The National Civics Bee is presented by the Katy Area Chamber of Commerce, with support from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation. Please email Stacy Jacobs at stacy@katychamber.com with any questions.
