Pre-College/Youth Programs
Spelling Contest
Regional Spelling Contests are held at grade levels 1-5, 6-8, and 9-12. Contests begin within each school. Winners from each school then compete to determine the school district's representative. At the final contest Saturday, May 10, 2008, the district winners compete against each other to determine the region's representative at the state contest held in August during the State Fair.
