A mother-daughter first!
Miss Vermont 2026 is Hannah Roque, a native of Middlebury and a graduate of St. Michael’s College with a degree in English and Secondary Education. She is the daughter of Miss Vermont 1996 Nikki Juvan, also a Middlebury resident. This is the first time the daughter of a former Miss Vermont has captured the state title. Roque was crowned Miss Vermont on April 26 at the Miss Vermont Scholarship Organization’s event in Stowe. Placing the crown on her head was Miss Vermont 2025, Sophia Parker of Addison. The Independent will do an interview with Hannah and her mom in next week’s Independent.
