Samantha Head, America's National Teenager 2012
Hello everyone! My name is Samantha Head and I am so excited to be America's National Teenager 2012. I am a freshman at the University of Florida studying environmental engineering and hope to open an environmental camp for youth when I'm older. I love meeting new people, tie-dying, photography, making people laugh, and lending a helping hand. I'd think you were crazy if you said a year ago that I'd be here today but now I'm living the dream! Follow me on Facebook and my blog www.antsosamanthahead.wordpress.com and see how ANTSO is changing my life and the lives of others.
Lauren Dinges, Miss Jr. National Teenager 2012
Hi! My name is Lauren Dinges from Georgia, and I am honored to be Miss Junior National Teenager 2012. My hobbies are singing, dancing, acting, and traveling. As a member of National Charity League, I have received 2 Presidential Service Awards for completing over 200 hours of community service. I am excited to volunteer with organizations all over the country because I believe we are all called to help others. Scholastic achievement is a top priority for me and I am proud to be a distinguished honor roll student as I start my freshman year in high school.

Brooke Calle, Miss Preteen National Teenager 2012
Hi everyone!! I am so excited to be the 2012 Preteen National Teenager. I live in Newtown, Pa and I am one of 6 children. Being from a large family has taught me to be flexible and to have fun with life! I am a student in Council Rock and will be entering the 7th grade. I love spending time twirling my baton and being involved with my charity, the Sunshine Foundation. I'm looking forward to this years adventure in the ANTSO family. I plan to be involved in many new charities, travel and share my experiences with other preteens. I look forward to letting other girls know how much fun ANTSO is and building new and exciting memories.
Courtney Baxter, Miss National Sweetheart 2012
My name is Courtney Baxter, and I am proud to say that I am ANTSO's Miss National Sweetheart 2012! I live in West Chester, PA. Acting, dancing, cooking, volunteering, traveling and boating are some of my favorite pass-times. After completing high school, I hope to attend University of California, Los Angeles and earn a degree in Film with a minor in business. I have worked as a professional SAG/AFTRA actress since the age of 11 and pride myself on all that I have accomplished in the industry. My most recent favorite acting experience has been developing a character for The Onion News Network, then getting to be a back stage host at the FOX Teen Choice Awards in character. I have also loved filming on Gossip Girl, 30 Rock, Criminal Minds and producing and starring in the short film Reco. I am incredibly excited to travel the country this year as Miss National Sweetheart to promote ANTSO. With my title I hope to inspire girls to be confident and successful, work with a variety of organizations that help our environment and people in need all over the US and work with my fellow ANTSO state and national level queens!

Michelle Bergh, Miss Preteen National Sweetheart 2012
I'm Michelle Bergh and I am SO excited to represent ANTSO as Miss Preteen National Sweetheart 2012! Nationals in Miami was such a blast and I am looking forward to working with my sister queens on upcoming community service projects! I've competed in many national pageants, and many times in ANTSO, but this is my first time winning THE national title! I want to tell all the girls to NEVER give up on your dreams! If you keep trying, work hard and never give up, one day YOUR dreams will come true, too!
Kelsey Schmidt, ANTSO National Miss 2012
I am honored to represent such an incredibly accomplished group of women and an inspiring program. I first joined the ANTSO family when I represented Washington State in the junior teen division. I have seen first hand what this program can do for young women across this glorious nation. ANTSO has helped me develop into a woman with the power to pursue my dreams and the tools to achieve them. I look forward to a year dedicated to service and sharing my ANTSO story with young women across America. Service has always played an important role in my life. I have delivered school supplies to the children of Pailin Cambodia, brought awareness to the atrocities of the holocaust and apartheid through my work on a documentary by the film company Transcendental Media, and provided medical supplies and care to rural villagers in Peru. I am also excited to support the various ANTSO philanthropies including the Boys and Girls Club of America. I look forward to a great year and meeting you!!
