BAY MINETTE — Faulkner State Community College has crowned Jordan McCall Miss Faulkner State for 2010.

McCall, a native of Oxford, Ala., is the daughter of Scott and Renee McCall.  Her current major is General Studies, but she plans to transfer to the University of Alabama where she will major in Biology.

During her freshmen year, McCall has gotten involved in several campus activities. She plays volleyball for the Lady Sun Chiefs, she is a member of the Pow Wow Leadership Society and the Student Government Association and she is an active member in Fusion. 

Celeste Robertson, the Pageant Director, said McCall will serve her sophomore year as Miss Faulkner State this coming fall.

“Jordan will serve as a college ambassador,” Robertson said.  “She will make appearances at college and community functions as needed.  She will also participate in services projects and will intern in the Admissions Office at Faulkner State.”

Fourteen contestants participated in the pageant on March 30 in the Performing Arts Center on the Bay Minette Campus. Also featured in the 2010 Miss Faulkner State Pageant were Ashley Ivey (First Runner-up), Deeon Hyde (Second Runner-up), Rose Lee Todd (Miss Congeniality), Haylee Black (Miss Photogenic), Amber Allen, Molly Grant, Amber Biggs, Mallory Barrett, Megan Smith, Krystal Garner, Stephanie Graham, Kellie Swan and Jacqueline Howell-Richardson. 

“The contestants are judged on involvement in activities, scholastic standing, interview presence, poise and an on-stage question by non-affliated judges with documented experience in pageants, education, professional interviewing and other related areas,” Robertson said.

Contestants must attend dress rehearsals, interviews and four weeks of practice. Applications for the pageant are accepted each spring. Students participating in the pageant must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5, be a full-time freshman who has completed one semester at Faulkner State prior to the pageant, and they must meet any additional criteria listed on the Miss Faulkner State application.
