The 2021 District Spelling Bee, like everything else this year, was conducted a little differently. Each speller was issued 25 words at their home campus and the student that spelled the most words correct, was declared the winner. This year, Harby Jr. High 8th grader, Alaina Jett won by answering 21/25 words correctly. Runner up was Duke Elementary 4thgrader, DeAngelo Primero. He correctly spelled 20/25 words. We wish Alaina luck in the next round of competition in the Houston Public Media Spelling Bee to be held virtually on March 9, 2021.
