March 05, 2024
The 2024 Citizen Bee competition will name a new set of winners after the Tuesday, March 5, event.
The 34th Annual Citizen Bee competition will take place on March 5, 2024 in the Sam
and Linda Monroe Performing Arts Center on the campus of LSCPA. TotalEnergies serves
as the main sponsor of the competition.
Students compete individually in the Citizen Bee, a test of their knowledge of the
U.S. Constitution and other important documents, people, issues, civic values, and
current events.
The event consists of a one-hour individual written examination, followed by oral
questions in a virtual forum conducted on the LSCPA campus.
All of the questions and answers for the written and oral exams were available in
the on-line study guide provided by the Law Focused Education, Inc., State Bar of
Texas.
Port Arthur Mayor Thurman “Bill” Bartie will present a proclamation designating March
5 as Citizen Bee Day in the City.
Dr. Tina Capeles, political science instructor at LSCPA, returns to coordinate the
event with a steering committee consisting of instructors and administrators from
LSCPA.
Total Energies sponsored the event, as they have for many years, providing funding
for the competition itself as well as the prize money presented to the winners.
