At the recent Miss Heritage pageant, Homewood High student Dina Zaher was crowned Miss Heritage 2016.
Miss Heritage is a scholarship pageant that is open to all Homewood High School girls ninth through 12th grade. They are judged on three primary categories: a five-minute private interview with the judges, the opening “Outfit of Choice” number, the evening gown and poise portion and, for the top 20 finalists, an on-stage question.
A queen is named for each class. This year’s winners include:
► Senior queen: Mae Dowda
► Junior queen: Natalie Jones
► Sophomore queen: Meg Robinson
► Freshman queen: Bella Kimbrell
Class queens received a sash, tiara and a Stella & Dot Lariat necklace. The Spirit of Heritage winner, chosen to embody the Homewood spirit, receives a $250 scholarship, and the Judges’ Interview Award gives $300 to the girl who gives the best interview.
Zaher, as Miss Heritage, received a $1,000 scholarship, a crown, sash, hair styling from Red Salon and a photo shoot with Louis Fort.
This year’s Spirit of Heritage winner is Isabell Burgess, and Zaher also received the Judges’ Interview Award.
