The Tri-State Regional Spelling Bee has the same age and eligibility requirements as the Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee. In our area there are several home school organizations. These organizations get together for their own spelling bee, which is the equivalent of a school spelling bee. One home school winner advances to the county bee to compete with public, private, and parochial school students. Contact Karen Brashear for more information or to receive the name of the county's spelling bee director.
