Carroll County School System held its annual District Spelling Bee on January 15, at the Carroll County Schools Performing Arts Center. Eighteen students from Carroll County elementary and middle schools participated in the event. After 11 rounds of competition, Isabella Jackson, an eighth-grade student from Central Middle School, earned first place by correctly spelling the word, “maimed”. London Williams, a fifth-grade student from Central Elementary School, earned the second-place title. By winning first place in the District Spelling Bee, Jackson is eligible to compete in the Georgia Association of Educators Region Spelling Bee, which will be held on February 27 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Jennifer Shirley, Director of Elementary Education and District Spelling Bee Coordinator stated, “We are very proud of all of this year’s Spelling Bee contestants and their commitment to academic excellence. We congratulate Isabella and wish her all the best at the next level of competition!”
Carroll County School System greatly appreciates the support of our event and district sponsors that help provide premier experiences for our students: Georgia Association of Educators and Southern A&E, LLC.
