Annual Hawaii We the People State Competition 2012

History Education Hawaii has heard that a We the People State Competition is scheduled to be held on Saturday morning, February 4, 2012 at the First Circuit Court in Honolulu.

State Coordinator Sandra Cashman wrote, "Although the Center for Civic Education lost its funding for this year due to federal budget constraints, I'm still serving as the State Coordinator for We the People."

She is working with Executive Director Matt Mattice and Education Specialist Keahe Davis at the King Kamehameha V Judiciary History Center at Aliiolani Hale.

"The Center is working to restore funding in the future," writes Sandra, "and meanwhile most of the state programs are carrying on to the best of their abilities."

The Center is hosting a national final from April 27 to 30 at George Mason University. However, there will be no financial support for attending teams.

Judges are needed for the Hawaii state competition. If you're able to do so, please contact Sandra Cashman.
