In 2024, 100,000 students representing more than 800 schools competed for the chance to compete at the Regional Bee. County champions moved on to the Dallas Regional Spelling Bee hosted by the Dallas Sports Commission at WFAA's studio in downtown Dallas.
The top two students moved on from the Dallas Regional Spelling Bee to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C.
On the national level, Dallas spellers have proven to be a force to be reckoned with! In 2024, Dallas's Regional Bee Champions Sriya Gomatam placed 17th and Faizan Zaki paced 2nd at the National Bee. Dallas's spellers swept the top three spots at the 2018 Scripps National Spelling Bee, only to be topped in 2019 with three spellers, Abhijay Kodali, Rohan Raja and Sohum Sukhatankar, being crowned co-Nation Champions!
The Dallas Regional Spelling Bee is open to all public, private, charter, and home school students within the designated Dallas region to become part of the 11 million students who take part across the country every year. Go to www.dallasspellingbee.com for additional information.
