Forty-two of the area’s top student spellers are set to compete in the 2025 Schuylkill County Regional Spelling Bee.
The 2025 Schuylkill County Regional Spelling Bee will be held this Saturday, March 8, at 9 a.m. in the D.H.H. Lengel Middle School Auditorium in Pottsville. The winner will represent the coal region at the 25th Scripps National Spelling Bee from May 27-29 in Washington, D.C. This year, the National Spelling Bee will be celebrating its 100th anniversary.
Leading to this point, elementary, middle, and junior-senior high schools from around the area have been hosting competitions to determine their school champions to send to Pottsville for this weekend’s competition.
Northeast PA Manufacturers and Employers Council is once again the sponsor of the Schuylkill County Regional Spelling Bee. The competition is organized by Schuylkill Technology Center.
The winner of the this year’s Bee earns a trophy created and constructed by students enrolled in the Precision Machine Trades Program at Schuylkill Technology Center as well as a $50 gift card provided by the Delta Kappa Gamma International Society.
