Haylee Patton is 15 years old and a  junior at Bristol Central High School. She’s a dedicated sprinter on her school’s track team and a proud competitive dancer with the world champion Triple Threat Dance Company.

 

Haylee has been part of the Miss Connecticut Scholarship Organization since she was a baby, growing up inspired by its values of service, scholarship, success, and style. She is the founder of Ladybug Outreach, a service initiative that supports the unhoused and food insecure—an effort born from her strong belief that helping people is one of the most important things we can do.

 

Haylee plans to attend Penn State University to major in business, with dreams of one day owning a competitive dance studio that not only helps dancers reach their fullest potential, but also prioritizes their mental health and well-being. She’s excited for the year ahead and looks forward to expanding Ladybug Outreach across the state of Connecticut and proudly representing it on the Miss America’s Teen stage.
