Street said, “I am a student and cheerleader at Wake Forest University. I am a Sociology major with a minor in psychology. I am both honored and elated to represent the Henderson community at Miss North Carolina in June. I competed in the Miss Kerr Lake Festival pageant back in September where I won the title which has now been changed over to Miss Henderson. My platform is Small Seeds Sprout Success. As a first generation college student I hope to instill hope in today’s youth and let them know that they can achieve anything they set their minds to regardless of any obstacles they might face.”
The Miss North Carolina pageant is during the week of June 19-23. The finals will be on June 23 at 8:00 p.m. in Raleigh.
