Bartow County Schools issued the following announcement on April 2.
Dreams are coming true for Jaylee Kilgo!
This Woodland High School senior won the Miss Gateway of the South title and is advancing to the Miss Georgia contest in June!
Jaylee participated in seven local preliminary events before being named Miss Gateway of the South.
Judges were impressed with her pom jazz routine, 4.0 GPA, and involvement in the National Honor Society, National Honor Society for Dance Arts, National Technical Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, BETA Club, HOSA, and 4-H, but there was something else that stood out a little more - her Social Impact Initiative called the Happiness Project, which provides mental health resources to the elderly community!
We are all so proud of Jaylee's heart and unbelievable character! Let's wish her well as she takes on the Miss Georgia pageant in the coming months in Columbus, Georgia, and hopefully the Miss America competition!
