National Geographic Bee


Each year, thousands of schools in the United States participate in the National Geographic Bee using materials prepared by the National Geographic Society. The contest is designed to encourage teachers to include geography in their classrooms, spark student interest in the subject, and increase public awareness about geography.

Schools with students in grades four through eight are eligible for this entertaining and challenging test of geographic knowledge. This year the state competition was held at Greenspun Junior High School on March 31, 2006. The winner pictured above, a student from Washoe County School District, moves on to compete in the national contest in Washington, D.C.
