On Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at 11 a.m., at the University of the Virgin Islands Innovation Center in St. Thomas, the Elections System of the Virgin Islands will host its Civics Matters II Championship between our finalists from Antilles School (St. Thomas) and Free Will Baptist School (St. Croix). Civics Matters is an exciting and engaging quiz bowl, produced by the Elections System of the Virgin Islands, exclusively for Virgin Islands’ high school students.
The competition aims to test their knowledge of various social, political, and historical topics.
Team members from the Antilles School include Saba Gever, Zia Gibbs, Earl Toussaint, and Malachi Yoder. Their coaches are Ms. Brittany Bryan and Andrew Gever. Team Members from Free Will Baptist Christian School include Sanaa Joseph, Keyandre Laroque, Alexander Walcott and Geia Williams. Their coach is Mr. Anthony Mardenborough. These two schools persevered through a tightly contested preliminary round.
Members of the public are invited to come out and support the students. Civics Matter II will also be livestreamed on Tuesday, April 15, at 11 a.m. via the Elections System of the Virgin Islands YouTube (ElectionSystem) and Facebook page (Elections System of the Virgin Islands), so classrooms can witness our civics teams at their best.
