The team achieved a historic season record by scoring six perfect scores of 90 and missing only three out of 810 words spelled during the entire season

Ten perfect spellers competed at the state finals: Kanika Arora, Faihaan Arif, Muqsit Buchh, Maggie Finnessy, Presto George, Hannah McGinness, Hannah Smith, Athreya Sundaram, Michelle Tapp, and Chris Yun

Kanika Arora was honored by the IASP for correctly spelling every word in both regional and state finals for all four years of her high school career

The Secretary of the Senate is directed to transmit a copy of the resolution to Penn High School Principal Steve Hope, Team Coach Joe DeKever, and all 2015 team members
