Disponible en:

The top two spellers will advance to the next level of the competition, the Scripps Houston Public Media Spelling Bee.

Forty students came together on February 21, 2024, to vie for the top spots in the District Spelling Bee. After a thrilling eight rounds of competition, Leonardo Escobar-Phan, a fifth-grader from Hill Elementary School, won the District Spelling Bee by spelling “criteria” correctly. Eduardo Soto, a fifth grader from Odom Elementary, secured a 2nd place finish.

The students that advanced to the district level had advanced from their campus spelling bees. They represented 38 elementary and two middle schools, with grade levels ranging from Grades 2-8.

Leonardo and Eduardo, as the top two AISD spellers, will advance to the Scripps Houston Public Media Spelling Bee, which will be held at a date determined in late March 2024. The Houston area bee winner will attend Washington, DC, to compete for the national championship.

Congratulations, and Good luck!
