Aaron Lopez, a ninth-grade student at Washington-Liberty High School, will compete in the History Bee national championships after scoring success at the state level.

At the National History Bee (to be held April 21-24 in Arlington), Lopez will compete in the U.S. History Bee, the National Political Science Bee and the U.S. Geography Bee categories, as well as in the overall competition.
