Academic Spell Bowl

Indiana Academic Spell Bowl

Unlike the traditional oral spelling contest, teams use one representative per round to correctly spell the contest words.  Winning teams are named based on the cumulative total of correctly spelled words of all members.  Junior and Senior teams have the opportunity to qualify for a State Finals competition.
