Forty high school students from eight North Dakota high schools, including two teams from Jamestown, will compete in the annual “LifeSmarts” state finals today, announced Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem. The state competition, which is in its 16th year, tests teens in grades 9-12 about personal finance, health and safety, the environment, technology, and consumer rights and responsibilities. The attorney general’s office hosts the annual event.

The competition begins at 8:30 a.m. The teams will compete in a series of elimination rounds to reach the final round, which should begin at approximately 2:45 p.m. This year’s competition is being held at the Bohn Armory in Bismarck.

The winning state team will advance to compete in the national finals in Atlanta, Ga., later this year.

The Consumer Protection Division organizes and hosts the annual state competition.
