Each school year, 8th grade students in the Greater Pittsburgh area are given the opportunity to participate in an essay contest sponsored by CEO. The topics vary each year with the topic for the 2009-2010 school year as follows:
Students will be asked to explain the difference between a Representative Republic and a Democracy comparing and contrasting both forms of government.
This provides the students with a chance to practice their writing skills while learning more about their country’s history and government.
If you are interested in learning more about the specific details of this contest, please contact CEO at 412.967.9691.
Congratulations to our 2010 Winners!
