NEW CUMBERLAND — Hannah Jacobs, the daughter of Melissa and Kenneth Jacobs of New Cumberland, was crowned Miss Teen of West Virginia 2016, at the pageant held Aug. 5-7 at Bloomsburg University in Bloomsburg, Pa.

Each candidate was scored in six categories of judging, including: scholastic record; achievement and service to school and community; general awareness written test; personal development of talents and skills; personality projection in formal wear; and interview.

“This pageant is not a typical beauty pageant, with 60 percent of our judging completed prior to the judges even seeing the young ladies,” President Sunny Hill said. “The Miss Teen of America organization highlights achievement and promotes confidence in the leaders of tomorrow.”

Hannah is an Oak Glen High School junior. Her future plans include becoming a dental hygienist and she is training in the nursing program at the John D. Rockefeller IV Career Center. She named her mother as her biggest hero.

As the new Miss Teen of West Virginia, Jacobs receives a $1,000 cash scholarship, a $250 donation toward a Special Olympics inclusion event to be held in her school and a chance to vie for the Miss Teen of America national title worth more than $20,000 in scholarships and prizes. She may also be able to attend civic charity, or speaking events throughout the state and nationally. To request Miss Teen of West Virginia for an event contact Miss Teen of America National Office at info@missteenofamerica.com or (952) 405-8882.
