Abstract | For many high school students, the benefits of civic education seem irrelevant and take place in their future lives. Student performance on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in Civics is stagnant. In 2018, the average civics score for eighth-grade students was not significantly different from 2014 and had only increased by 3 points from the first NAEP assessment in 1998. While the data is discouraging, there is a reinvigorated focus on student engagement in civics in specific areas of the country. The data invites the question "What can be done to energize school-based civic education to produce better outcomes for our society?" The Civics diploma seal can counter both of those misperceptions and provide significant short-term and long-term benefits to high school students. Earning recognition for the acquisition of civic knowledge, skills and experiences will encourage students to develop healthy civic habits that will lead to a lifetime of civic participation.
