2026 Pageant Day
On Saturday, June 6, 2026, seven exceptional young women took the stage at the Temple of Glory Multicomplex to compete in the 2026 Miss Savannah Juneteenth & Miss Teen Savannah Juneteenth Scholarship Pageant. Throughout the evening, contestants demonstrated the leadership, public speaking, cultural awareness, community service, and personal growth they developed during the six-month Miss Savannah Juneteenth Scholarship Program.
The program celebrated the accomplishments of each contestant while honoring the legacy of Juneteenth through scholarship, education, leadership development, and community engagement.
Following an evening celebrating scholarship, leadership, and achievement, the Miss Savannah Juneteenth Scholarship Program proudly crowned its 2026 titleholders:
Miss Savannah Juneteenth 2026 | Jakayla Ladson
Miss Teen Savannah Juneteenth 2026 | Madison Smith
Miss Teen Savannah Juneteenth Runner-Up 2026 | Morgan Waterman
These young women will serve as ambassadors for the Miss Savannah Juneteenth Scholarship Program throughout the year, representing the values of leadership, service, cultural pride, and academic excellence. Through mentorship, leadership development, community engagement, scholarship opportunities, and cultural enrichment, the program continues to empower young women to make a meaningful impact in their schools, communities, and beyond.
We congratulate all of the contestants for their dedication, hard work, and commitment throughout the program and look forward to witnessing the continued success of these outstanding young ladies as they serve as ambassadors for the organization and the Savannah community.
