Crockett Intermediate School is proud to announce the co-winners of its annual campus spelling bee, following a competitive contest that began with more than 50 student participants.

After several intense rounds, the competition narrowed to two outstanding spellers: 5th grader Zaila Bridges and 6th grader Seth Loza, who were named co-winners of the Crockett Spelling Bee.

Both students will represent Crockett Intermediate at the Lamar County Spelling Bee, scheduled for February 4, 2026, at 4:45 p.m. The event will be held at Paris Junior High School in Weger Auditorium.

Crockett Intermediate celebrates the hard work, dedication, and academic excellence demonstrated by all students who participated and extends congratulations to Zaila Bridges and Seth Loza as they prepare to compete at the county level.
