We recommend that you use only the School Competition List from the current year for your school bee, as it includes words from the current year's School Spelling Bee Study List. For example, during the 2024-2025 school year we recommend school bee officials use the 2025 School Competition List to conduct a school spelling bee. The 2025 School Competition List is available to all schools that enroll in the Bee for the 2024-2025 year.
