America’s Junior Miss is a scholarship program for high school senior girls.  Judging is based on scholarship, interview, physical fitness, creative and performing arts, and presence and composure.  Representatives from each state meet in Mobile, Alabama each summer for the selection of America’s Junior Miss.

             In 1998, Jennifer participated in the Lamar County Junior Miss program.  After winning on the local level, she went on to compete in Meridian, Mississippi at the Mississippi Junior Miss Program.  After a wonderful week with girls from around the state of Mississippi, she was named Mississippi’s Junior Miss.  Her experience in Mobile at the America’s Junior Miss Program was an experience of a lifetime for a recent high school graduate.  Making friends from every state and participating in a nationally televised program were just a few of the experiences she cherishes from that event.  She was a preliminary winner in Creative and Performing arts and went on to be named the Overall Non-finalist Creative and Performing Arts winner on the national telecast.
