Walker’s Junior Crowned Miss Connecticut Teen USA

Maggie Peterson ’27 was crowned Miss Connecticut Teen USA on Sunday, May 24, 2026. 

Maggie, a rising senior at The Ethel Walker School, was recently elected President of the Student Body and has been an active and familiar presence across campus through student government, athletics, admission tours, and student life. She is also a member of the varsity swim and tennis teams and brings energy, kindness, and school spirit to the Walker’s community. We are proud to see her represent Connecticut and carry the confidence, leadership, and spirit of Walker’s onto a larger stage. Maggie will go on to compete at Miss Teen USA in Miami, Florida at the end of August.
