The 2026 Logan County Spelling Bee Champion hails from Indian Lake Middle School!
ILMS 7th grader Calin Headings took the top spot at the annual Logan County Spelling Bee held recently at the Holland Theatre. The event is sponsored each year by the Midwest Regional Educational Service Center. Top spelling students from Indian Lake, Bellefontaine, Ben Logan, Calvary Christian and Riverside Schools participate.
Bellefontaine’s Owen Smith was runner-up.
Headings corrected spelled the word "marquee" to win the event. Calin says he has been studying the words on the official Scripps Spelling Bee list for weeks with the help of his mother.
ILMS 6th grader Jayvin Hill also took part in the bee and lasted until the final rounds.
Headings will soon take an online test to determine if he can continue to the regional spelling contest later in this spring.
Congratulations to all the spellers on a great night!
