We are so excited to announce that James Perriam has advanced to the state level of National Geographic’s Geography Bee!

The “GeoBee” is an annual competition designed to inspire and reward students’ curiosity about the world.

Students in grades four through eight from nearly 10,000 schools across the United States compete for a chance to win college scholarships and the glory of being the National Geographic GeoBee Champion.

James won the Burgundy Geography Bee and then took a qualifying test to advance to state. James had one of the 100 top scores in Virginia and will advance to the state level of the competition!
