National Civics Bee

The Round Rock Chamber is participating in the National Civics Bee 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 in Texas and celebrating our civic pride.

Any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade student residing in Central Texas with an idea about using civics to improve their community may submit their application to participate in their state. All applications must be submitted by Tuesday, February 3,2026, at 11:59 p.m. Hawaii Time.
