March 21st will be a celebration of knowledge, leadership, and civic pride — and we couldn’t be more thankful for the sponsors who made it possible.
Seeing our community come together to support these students has been inspiring.
Every finalist will walk away recognized. Every participant will be celebrated. And three will move on to represent our region at the state level.
This is what community partnership looks like.
Thank you for believing in our youth.
To our Regional National Civics Bee® sponsors — THANK YOU. Your commitment to supporting civic education sends a powerful message to our youth: your voice matters, your ideas matter, and your leadership matters. Join us on March 21st at Monticello Middle School as we celebrate these 20 outstanding regional finalists. Let’s pack the room and show these students how proud we are of their hard work and dedication.Monticello Middle School Auditorium, Monticello, Minnesota
The Monticello Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, is proud to host the nonpartisan National Civics Bee®. We are excited to welcome the Elk River Chamber of Commerce as a collaborating partner in supporting this competition and inspiring young Americans to engage in civics and make a positive impact in their communities.
Students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade will have the opportunity to showcase their civics knowledge for a chance to earn recognition and cash prizes. Local winners will advance to state-level competitions, and finalists will be invited to Washington, D.C. in Fall 2026 to compete in the National Civics Bee® Championship.
