The Little Miss and Teen Miss South Carolina Pageant recently celebrated its 55th pageant at the Francis Marion University Performing Arts Center in Florence.

Contestants from across South Carolina competed for more than $35,000 in scholarships, along with other prizes. The pageant also presented a check for $50,000 to Prisma Health Children’s Hospital and has raised more than $760,000 for PHCH since partnering with the hospital in 2002.

Teagan Goff, the 5-year-old daughter of Allan and Kristina Goff of Lexington, was crowned Little Miss South Carolina Overall Princess 2026 and Overall Black and White winner.

Teagan received $3,400 in winnings, along with other prizes that included a children’s bicycle. She will travel the state this year representing the pageant and PHCH.
