Three of these students made it to the final round of this prestigious competition: Lila Knapp., Violet Wessells, and Sophia Montero. These students were selected for their outstanding essays and were interviewed by the judges. In the end, it was Sophia Montero who secured 3rd Place and will have the honor of representing Colorado Springs at the state Civics Bee. Congratulations to Sophia and all the participants for their hard work and commitment!
