An initiative designed to uplift and empower youth through education, leadership development, and community engagement.

The inaugural Miss Forney Scholarship Pageant, proudly presented by Threads for Change, marks the beginning of an extraordinary tradition that celebrates leadership, excellence, and community impact. In collaboration with Don Morphy, Forney ISD and the City of Forney, this event provides a dynamic platform for 11th-grade students to showcase their unique talents, leadership potential, and unwavering commitment to driving positive change in their community. Together, we’re setting the stage for a new era of inspiration and empowerment in Forney!

 

With its tagline, “Values, Excellence, Community,” the Miss Forney Scholarship Pageant is more than just a competition—it’s a celebration of character, achievement, and civic pride. Together with Forney ISD and the City of Forney, we aim to build future leaders and inspire a lasting legacy of positive change in our community.
