Michaela Scott Crowned

Miss Teen of Missouri 2016

Michaela Scott, daughter of Craig and Kim Scott of Cape Girardeau was crowned Miss Teen of Missouri 2016, at the Miss Teen of Missouri Pageant held July 29-31 at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri. Young ladies, ages 13–18, from across the state participated in the event culminating with the crowning of the new Miss Teen of Missouri at pageant finals on July 31, 2016.

Each candidate was scored in six categories of judging, which were: Scholastic Record; Achievement and Service to School and Community; General Awareness Written Test; Personal Development of Talents and Skills; Personality Projection in Formal Wear; and Interview. President Sunny Hill stated: “This pageant is not a typical beauty pageant, with sixty percent of our judging completed prior to the judges even seeing the young ladies. The Miss Teen of America organization highlights achievement and promotes confidence in the leaders of tomorrow.”

As the new Miss Teen of Missouri, Scott receives a $1,000 cash scholarship, a $250 donation toward a Special Olympics inclusion event to be held in her school, and a chance to vie for the Miss Teen of America national title worth more than $20,000 in scholarships and prizes. She may also be able to attend civic, charity, or speaking events throughout the state and nationally.
