Congratulations to students who were nominated by their school to represent it in the Knights of Columbus Geography Bee!
The bee will take place Saturday, March 8, 2025 at Immaculate High School at 73 Southern Blvd., Danbury, CT. Parking and entrance are from Ryders Lane. Please check in between 12:30 and 12:45 PM.
Each nominee, whether able to participate or not, is asked to have a parent or guardian reply to the Knights per the invitation as soon as possible, in addition to notifying the teacher or principal, as the Knights will invite alternates so that each school can be fully represented.
Our bee has open-answer questions about geography, and participants are not eliminated until missing at least two questions. Some of our questions feature Catholic content. Our questions are about world geography, North American geography, and our local region around western Connecticut. Below are links to more information, to help you know what to expect.
Please wear one of your school uniforms, ideally a version which has easily-visible identification of your school, to help you represent your school proudly.
First through third place will monetary awards, certificates, and a trophy for the student and another for the school.
And of course the Knights welcome your family, friends, faculty, and clergy to come to the bee and cheer you on!
