Mission

The Miss American Teen Creed

"The Miss American Teen pageant was founded for the modern American teenager on her way to success. As a role model to her generation, millions of young women and girls across the country will learn from her example and make positive changes in their lives. We believe that lifelong learning, giving back to others, and introspective self-improvement are keys to a healthy and empowered life. As such, we strive to be our best authentic selves everyday and to allow our inner beauty to reign."
