Reagan Moore is a 16-year-old rising junior at Hillgrove High School in Powder Springs, Georgia—a vibrant community she proudly calls home. As Reagan reflects on this moment, she beams with excitement as she notes that "being crowned Miss Georgia’s Teen is not only a dream come true, but also an exciting opportunity to represent my state, uplift my peers, and use my voice to make a meaningful impact".

She looks forward to building a career where she can combine her love for people and impactful communcation, with her passion for dance and it's effect on physical and positive mental health.

 

One of the most important aspects of her journey as Miss Georgia’s Teen is her community service initiative: Dance, Fit, Uplift. This initiative is rooted in her lifelong love for dance and belief in the importance of mental, emotional, and physical wellness. Through Dance, Fit, Uplift, she works to inspire youth—especially young girls—to discover confidence and strength through movement. She also engages with Seniors, as she provides dance instruction and leads stretch classes in Senior Centers. Dance has been a source of joy, discipline, and resilience in her life, as she used it to cope with anxiety related tendencies. Reagan visits elemetary schools sharing her curriculum and has partnered with organizations such as Shamea Shares,Inc. to highlight the benefits of dance and movement with others in a fun, inclusive, and empowering way. Whether leading a community dance class, hosting a fitness and wellness event, or speaking at local schools, her goal is to demonstrate what it means to be #MissAmericaFit and to help others feel seen, strong, and uplifted. She hopes that her curriculum will eventually be implement in school counseling curriculums and Senior Center activity modules throughout the great State of Georgia.

 

As Miss Georgia’s Teen, she is excited to not only represent her state at Miss America’s Teen, but also to engage in service projects, connect with youth across Georgia, and be a role model who leads with authenticity and purpose. She believes that leadership means listening, learning, and lifting others as you rise—and that’s exactly what she strives to do every day in this role.

 

Outside of school and pageantry, Reagan enjoys spending time with her family, church family, friends, staying active, and exploring creative outlets like flag football and cheerleading. She is also actively involved in school organizations such as Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) and Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). Whether in the studio practicing choreography or in front of the camera preparing for a mock newscast with "The Grove Show" at school, she's always looking for ways to grow and push beyond her comfort zone.

 

In her very own words, Reagan reminds us that "if you have a dream: your voice matters, your passion has power, and your purpose is waiting to be discovered. I’m so thankful for the support of my family, my community, and the Miss Georgia’s Teen organization for believing in me—and I can’t wait to see all that this year holds".
