Each year Hackler Intermediate holds spelling bees at every grade level. The first and second place winners of each grade level go on to compete at the Baxter County Spelling Bee where all preliminary winners (grades 3-8) from the county schools compete for their opportunity to advance to the state competition. The winner of the Arkansas State Spelling Bee advances on to the National Spelling Bee held in Washington D.C. every year. Hackler’s spelling bees are conducted in accordance with the rules supplied by Scripps National Spelling Bee.  The Hackler Spelling Bee is usually held in October or November but this year was held in December due to Covid.
