Wyoming’s Young Civic Champions Shine Bright

On August 7th, Wyoming’s brightest middle schoolers showed the world that civic smarts aren’t just alive and well, they’re thriving right here in the Cowboy State! The 2025 Wyoming State Civics Bee brought sharp minds, quick thinking, and plenty of state pride to the stage.

A standing ovation for our outstanding winners:

1. Kaia Scott – 2025 State Champion

2. Grady Turnington

3. Liahona Glass

Every single student who competed brought their A-game, and Wyoming couldn’t be prouder. A huge thank you to the Wyoming Congressional Award for helping make this event possible.

Looking ahead: Essay submissions open next month for the 2026 National Civics Bee! Encourage the young leaders in your life to start thinking now about applying. It’s a chance to grow their leadership skills, deepen their civic knowledge, and compete for a major

scholarship prize!
