Miss Vermont’s Teen 2026 is Zoey Clopton. Zoey is a sophomore at Mount Mansfield Union High School in Jericho. She hopes to attend the University of Alabama and plans to major in Musical Theater or Vocal Performance. Her Community Service Initiative SPOTlight (Stories Promote Our Togetherness) uses storytelling to promote children’s literacy and help them build empathy, confidence, and connection. She was awarded a $3,000 scholarship, a $5,000 Ellis Strategies Public Speaking course as well as a full tuition scholarship to both the University of Alabama and Mississippi State University.
“I am beyond thrilled and truly humbled to represent the Green Mountain State as Miss Vermont’s Teen 2026,” said Clopton. “My heart is full as I look ahead to meeting incredible people, building meaningful connections, and learning from communities across our beautiful state. I can’t wait to listen, share, and shine a light on the powerful stories of Vermont’s children and families. There’s something truly magical about Vermont, and I’m so excited to sing, laugh, and celebrate that magic with kids of all ages.”
