MAIN EVENT
January 10, 2026
Every Winter, teams from high schools around greater Bay Area (from Salinas to Marin county) travel to UC Santa Cruz for the Northern California High School Ethics Bowl.
Hosted by UCSC’s Center for Public Philosophy, the NorCal HSEB serves as a qualifying regional for the National High School Ethics Bowl. The winner of the regional competition typically goes on to the National Championship at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
If you’re a school or individual interested in participating, please email: ncalhseb@ucsc.edu.
And congratulations to Stanford Online High School for carrying the day at the 2024-25 NorCal HSEB!
