Mark Hackel, Martin Manna, Sue Kattula, Chief Dale Dwojakowski, and Civics Bee winners

Local National Civics Bee winners pose with their big checks and the Civics Bee judges.

On April 13, the CCF hosted its inaugural National Civics Bee local competition in Sterling Heights. Middle school students from around southeast Michigan showcased their civics knowledge in a groundbreaking competition.

Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel was the host of the event. CCF’s own Martin Manna, Sue Kattula, and Sterling Heights Police Department Chief Dale Dwojakowski served as judges. 

Twelve students, selected through insightful 500-word essays on civics-based ideas, competed in two rounds of multiple-choice questions. The top three finalists then faced a challenging Q&A session with our judges. A huge round of applause to our top 3 winners: Arkita D. from Baker Middle School (first place); Holdon K. from Wilkinson Middle School (second place); and Mariam K. from Davis Jr. High School (third place).
