Coconino County Spelling Bee

The Spelling Bee in Coconino County is a strong tradition intended to encourage and celebrate academic excellence. Open to all students in Coconino County in grades three through eight. We hope it improves spelling, increases vocabularies, fosters the learning of new concepts, and develops correct English usage that will help our children all their lives. Plus it’s fun!

Typically, the County Bee is scheduled for the weekend before President’s Day.

To ensure your students’ eligibility to participate in the 2020 Coconino County Spelling Bee (February 8, 2020) and the 2020 Arizona Spelling Bee, schools musts be registered with Scripps National Spelling Bee by December 20, 2019. Click here to enroll now.

Go to Arizona Educational Foundation to access the statewide spelling bee information and much more.

Congratulations to the 2019 Coconino County Spelling Bee Champion, Hannah Dodt, Second Place Winner Ivan Robertson, and Third Place, Jacob Frate.  Thank you for all your hard work.
