Kirsten Cerdenia, a 7th grader from Liberty Junior High School, has been named the 2026 ISC Regional Spelling Bee Champion! She will proudly represent South Cook in Washington, D.C. at the Scripps National Spelling Bee this May.
Congratulations, Kirsten, on this outstanding achievement! Her championship word was fastuous—meaning haughty, arrogant, or prideful.
Best of luck as you take the national stage!
