RECAPPING THE 2023 CIVICS BEE

The first Frederick County Civics Bee was held on Tuesday, April 25, 2023 at Hodson Auditorium at Hood College. Twenty one finalists competed in two rounds of civics questions. After hearing the question from emcee, Dr. Colleen Bernard, Secondary Social Studies Curriculum Specialist, Frederick County Public Schools, students had thirty seconds to answer the question on their tablets. At the end of the second round of civics questions, the top five finalists remained on stage for the final round. During the third and final round, the top five finalists were asked to speak about their essays they had written. A panel of live judges then asked each of the five finalists follow up questions on their essay.
