Citizen Bee Regional Competition Winners! Every year, students across the state compete in the Texas Citizen Bee, which is hosted by the Law Related Education department of the State Bar of Texas. The Texas Citizen Bee is a statewide civic education program and competition and is funded by the Sumners Foundation. Students take a 35-question multiple-choice test covering content from the U.S. History EOC. The top 10 finalists advance to the verbal rounds, which require each student to answer one question from each of the following categories: 1) People/Events 2) Documents and Supreme Court Cases and 3) Constitution. Region 9 had 12 students from 3 high schools compete in the Citizen Bee on March 27th and 28th! 10 students progressed from the written round to the final verbal round. Rider High School students were sponsored by Crystal Krueger, WFHS students were sponsored by Wendy Presson, and Burkburnett High School students were sponsored by Kimbra Thomas.
