Think You Know Who Might Shine?
You Might Be Surprised!

You know the student who lights up for history, the one you immediately picture thriving in a competition like this. But there may be others who surprise you.

That's why your school registration gives every 6th-8th grade student the chance to compete. Give them the opportunity and see who rises to the challenge!
