South Carolina's Civics Bee Champion | Charleston News
Description
Seven brilliant middle schoolers from South Carolina battled it out in the state’s first-ever Civics Bee, with Riley Metcalfe from Greenville emerging as champion and heading to Washington D.C. for the national finals — where a $100,000 education savings award is up for grabs. The competition, part of a nationwide push to boost civic education by 2026, featured tough questions and student-led community improvement pitches, with former Governor David Beasley praising the young leaders as “our future.” Riley, thrilled despite nerves, says the experience is igniting her passion for law and public service.
