The Miss Teen of America Pageant was founded in 1983 by the late Mr. Warren Alexander, a former educator and pageant director. Rebranded in 2017 to include additional age divisions, the program is designed to help America’s youth reach their full potential.

This scholastically based pageant recognizes young women ages 7-26 for their outstanding personal achievements, leadership abilities, and artistic, creative or athletic talents. The American Pageants organization searches for complete well-rounded girls, which is accomplished through a well balanced and fair judging criteria.

Our unique judging criteria allows the judging panel to get a full picture of each candidate. The six (6) categories are as follows:
Personal Development of Talents & Skills Resume - 15%
Service & Achievements in School & Community Resume - 15%
Scholastic & Professional Record Resume - 15%

As established leaders within their schools, current titleholders and participants will join us in the advancement of our developing partnership with Special Olympics social initiative campaign "The Revolution is Inclusion". Together, we will focus on ensuring that social inclusion is the norm across the country.
