Pageant History  

The Miss Helotes Pageant began in the late 1960’s.  Local Helotes Girls compete for a spot on the court and a chance to represent Helotes around the area towns and festivals.  The first few years saw the production produced at Floore’s Country Store.  It moved to Helotes Elementary School then to Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church.  As it grew and as scholarships were added to the winner’s packages, larger areas were needed to stage the event.  The Pageant moved to John Marshall High School, to Taft High School, to the University of Texas at San Antonio, and finally to its present home at O’Connor High School.
In April 2003, the Pageant introduced the first "Miss Teen Helotes". Again, local Helotes girls in the 7th, 8th and 9th grades compete for the title of "Miss Helotes Teen".
Over the years, several dedicated local ladies have worked hard to bring this Pageant to the point that participation is a coveted life experience for young ladies from twelve to eighteen. The scholarships and other prizes added to the package is another incentive for participation. 
The Pageant  has always been elegantly presented and outshines other local pageant presentations.  The success of the Pageant has provided many accomplished young ladies who are successful in their lives and careers.  
Today the Pageant is now produced by former court members who are giving back to the community in return for what they have received.
