MILTON — Thirty-six Milton High School girls recently competed in the 28th Annual Miss MHS Scholarship Pageant.

Five qualified judges decided these young women best represented MHS based on poise, personality and appearance:
●Miss MHS — Miss Annabeth Briggs, representing Track and Field
●First Runner Up — Miss Alexis Thorpe, representing the National Honor Society
●Second Runner U p— Miss Cristina Hellar, representing Girls Varsity Soccer
●Third Runner Up — Miss Chloe Dawson, representing the Fellowship of Christian Athletes
●Fourth Runner Up — Miss Mariah Bortolin, representing the National Art Honor Society
●Miss Congeniality — Miss Alexis Thorpe
●Most Photogenic — Miss Paige Brown, representing Girls Varsity Basketball
Denise McDonald, from The Open Rose Florist, donated all the winners’ flowers and stage decorations. Event organizers also expressed gratitude to the Press Gazette for its full-page color spread earlier in April.
Event coordinators — Missy Jordan and Tracey Worrell — expressed thanks for all the sponsors’ donations, which made the event such a success.
