Registration & Resources

All teams must meet the following criteria to qualify for and to participate in the National High School Ethics Bowl, and to count as a qualifying team in their regional bowl:

A team must be composed of at least three high school students. NHSEB teams will be capped at seven students (all of whom participated on a qualifying team at a regional bowl – see below), but only five students can be seated on a team in any one match.

A team must represent an accredited and certified school that offers classes for grades 9, 10, 11, and/or 12 in the United States and must have the official endorsement of the school administration to participate in the High School Ethics Bowl.

All teams must register with both the NHSEB and with their nearest regional bowl. Registration fees are non-refundable.
