The Regional Office of Education #21 hosted its second annual Spelling Bee on February 10, 2026, bringing together 16 outstanding students from 12 schools across Franklin, Johnson, Massac, and Williamson Counties. Participants in grades 4 through 8 gathered at The Pavilion in Marion, Illinois to compete in a showcase of academic excellence.
We are proud of Evan Heine for representing Metropolis Elementary School at the event.
