January 22, 2011, schools representing two Congressional Districts arrived at the Oklahoma Bar Center to participate in the We the People: Citizen and the Constitution State Finals. The competing schools included Enid High School and district finalists from Norman High School.
The competition allows students to exhibit their knowledge of the foundations and philosophies of the US Constitution through participation in a simulated congressional hearing. The hearing is a cumulating activity for the WTP: Citizen and the Constitution curriculum developed by the Center for Civic Education. A panel of judges interview students assigned to a specific textbook unit.
