Eagan Native Participates in Miss Minnesota Teen USA

Flexibility of K-12 online public school allows Pierce to pursue passions while receiving top-notch, accountable education.

Minnesota Connections Academy 11th grader, Olivia Pierce, participated in the Miss Minnesota Teen USA pageant over Thanksgiving weekend at the Ames Center in Burnsville.

Pierce shared, "A big thank you from the bottom of my heart to my family, friends, and sponsors for without your love and support, none of this would be possible. My generous sponsors are Meridian Real Estate Group, Raise Your Crown Gowns, and Pure Barre Apple Valley. To all my "Liv’s Little’s" in the audience, if I can do it, so can you! I would also like to encourage girls of all sizes to pursue positive pageantry as I have become a better person due to this amazing sisterhood. And don't forget to Raise Your Crown Against Bullying!"

Congratulations Olivia!
