ICYMI: Assabet Student From Shrewsbury Named Miss New England

SHREWSBURY, MA—Elliana Davis, a Shrewsbury senior from cosmetology at Assabet Valley Technical High School in Marlborough, was named Miss New England at a pageant on March 28 in the teen division.

"There were three judges, and we each had to have a private interview with each judge," said Davis in a statement. "Mainly they asked about our future plans, so I was able to tell them that I have committed to Framingham State University. I want to major in Business Management and Accounting, and I will probably work at a salon to help with expenses. Graduating with my state license will certainly be helpful with that."

In the background categories, Davis, who said that pageants are "important" to her, was also chosen as first runner up in the dance category.

As part of her Girl Scout project to earn the coveted Gold Award status, Davis planned a pageant for students grade 5 through1 2 in Shrewsbury. She, along with the winners of the 5th, 8th and 9th grade levels, will work together throughout the summer doing volunteer work, and making appearances at local festivals and parades.
