“WI” Have a WI-nner! WI Civics Games King Crowned

A team from Denmark High School took first place in the 2024 Wisconsin Civics Games state championship Friday at the Capitol in Madison. Eighteen teams from 15 schools participated in the competition, presented by the Wisconsin Newspaper Association Foundation. It was Denmark’s first trip to the finals.

The winning team, advised by social studies teacher Zack Olson, was comprised of Henry Pahlow (captain), Lydia Flanigan, Ben Lindsley, Aiden Nelsen, Collin Trepanier and Cherry Weis. Each will be awarded a $2,000 scholarship to a Wisconsin college or university of their choice.

They were among those who advanced from a field of more than 180 students who competed during the regional Games, which were held virtually last month. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CIVICS GAMES, CLICK HERE.
