During the week of February 9, 2026, 122 school spelling bee champions from across Ventura County completed a preliminary test. Based on their scores, 21 spellers have qualified to advance to the Final Oral Rounds of the Sage Ventura County Spelling Bee scheduled for Saturday, March 7, 2026, at the Ventura County Office of Education in Camarillo.
Sage remains deeply committed to our mission of building bridges to knowledge. In our 9th year as a regional partner of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, we are thrilled to uphold this 73-year Ventura County tradition by providing students with the opportunity to compete in the nation’s longest-running educational competition. We are confident that they have strengthened their spelling skills, expanded their vocabularies, learned new concepts, and developed correct English usage that will benefit them throughout their lives.
The following 21 spellers will advance to the final rounds of the Sage Ventura County Spelling Bee. These spellers will vie for first, second, and third place. The winner will advance to the Scripps National Spelling Bee scheduled for the week of May 25, 2026, in Washington D.C.
