We are so proud of each of these students for their hard work, preparation, and perseverance. We also celebrate every student who participated — whether they placed or not, they showed courage, confidence, and determination by stepping up and giving their best. That matters!
A special thank you to Mrs. Camburn for her dedication and behind-the-scenes work to make this opportunity possible for our students.
We are also grateful for our Spelling Bee judges who gave their time to serve:
