Our 2008 Missouri's Junior Miss is Danielle Peltonen.

Welcome to Missouri's Junior Miss, an official state preliminary of the America's Junior Miss scholarship program. Our program awards college scholarships to young women who have distinguished themselves at school and in their communities. It is our goal to provide the Junior Miss experience to every eligible young woman in Missouri. Those who participate in Junior Miss programs develop interview skills, self-confidence, and other life skills that lead to future success.

Missouri's Junior Miss holds no local competitions. Contestants from throughout Missouri gather in Florissant, where five judges select Missouri's Junior Miss. Our state winner then competes in our national competition, America's Junior Miss, in Mobile, Alabama.

Junior Misses from all 50 states will travel to the historic port city of Mobile, Alabama, for the 52nd Annual America's Junior Miss National Finals, June 25-27, 2009. They will spend two weeks getting to know outstanding girls from across the country, experiencing the fun and beauty of the area, enjoying the hospitality of local and national sponsors, and preparing for the National Finals competition. All State Junior Misses will compete for a share of at least $150,000 in cash scholarships.
