Congratulations to Christ the King Catholic School seventh-grader Andrew Kiernan, who won the 58th annual Mobile/Baldwin Catholic Schools Spelling Bee on Jan. 27 at St. Pius X Parish.
Andrew correctly spelled “nocturnal" in the championship round to win the title and earn a spot in the state finals March 27 in Birmingham. 
Andrew was one of 10 spellers from Mobile and Baldwin Catholic schools who qualified for this year’s bee. Congratulations to all of them!
