Summary
Mya Bernal, a Barr Middle School student, stunned everyone by winning the first-ever Nebraska State Civics Bee — and with it, a ticket to the national finals in Washington D.C. Her winning answer tackled the real-world impact of the closed Lexington beef plant, showing how deeply she connects civics to her community. She cranked up her prep with Quizlet and practice tests, even pulling off a last-minute speech on a hotel notecard when she learned she might need one. Her proud parents celebrated her passion for history and grit — and we’re all rooting for her as she heads to the national stage this fall.
