After competing in the 2022 Regional Finals for the National History Bee, International Geography Bee, and National Science Bee, students from both the Swain and Downtown Campuses qualified for the 2022 IAC National Championships, Elementary & Middle School Divisions.

These Jeopardy-style competitions, with quick tossup questions, test the participants' knowledge in humanities, history, science, and geography.  Students compete head to head, and the top three finishers advance to the national finals in Orlando, FL!

Congratulations to all our student competitors and good luck at the National Competition!
