Florida Statewide National Civics Bee®
We are hosting the National Civics Bee® Florida State Finals because 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. Through the Bee, we are promoting greater civic knowledge throughout Florida and celebrating our civic pride.
