Structural Change of the National History Bee and Bowl
Posted: Fri Jan 22, 2016 4:19 am
Effective immediately, The National History Bee and Bowl LLC and Academic Competition Enterprises have jointly concluded a new arrangement for the management and oversight of the Elementary and Middle School divisions of National History Bee, National History Bowl, Pop Culture Challenge, and National Citizenship Bee. It is anticipated that in short order, the same will follow for the US Geography Olympiad. These competitions will be directly overseen through the end of the 2018-2019 academic year by Academic Competition Enterprises (ACE) of Spartanburg, SC. As the leaders of ACE, Eric Huff and Nick Clusserath, have been employees of NHBB in the past, and have years of experience overseeing these competitions already, these competitions will remain in good hands for the next four years. On a practical basis, this will have no bearing on the way that these competitions are being administered for this school year - students, schools, and families do not need to adjust any element of their participation. From a personal point of view, this will allow both NHBB and ACE to more effectively serve the community with expanded capacity, increased competition offerings, and better service. I am grateful for Eric and Nick's efforts on behalf of NHBB and wish them well in their direct oversight through ACE of the Elementary and Middle School Divisions of the National History Bee and Bowl and the various related competitions.
