North Escambia Area Students Sweep County Spelling Bee

December 4, 2022

Can you spell “egocentricity”?

Three North Escambia area students took the top spots in the 47th Annual Sandy Sansing Spelling Bee.

The winners (listed with their prize and teacher) were:

1st Place — Evan Henderson – Ransom Middle School, $300, Teacher: Lori Johnson
2nd Place — Ian Ramos – Beulah Middle School, $200, Teacher: Brandee Burke
3rd Place — Brennan Keenan -   Bratt Elementary School, $150, Teacher: Mandi Carter

The word that distinguished first and second places in the final round was “egocentricity”. The word “mortgage” was the last word of the bee to secure Henderson’s position in first place.
