Get to Know Miss Montana's Teen 2025

Marygrace Knuffke of Kalispell was crowned Miss Montana’s Teen 2025 on June 21 at the historic Motherlode Theatre in Butte. A 17-year-old honor student, longtime ballet dancer, and passionate community advocate, Marygrace captured the crown with her powerful en pointe ballet performance of Kitri from Don Quixote Act III, which also earned her the overall talent award and a $2,500 scholarship.

​

Marygrace is beyond excited to represent Montana at Miss America’s Teen, taking place September 2–6 in Orlando, Florida.

A senior at Glacier High School, Marygrace holds the top academic rank in her class with a 4.0 GPA, serves as Student Body President, and balances her schedule with two part-time jobs at Glacier Range Riders and Sweet Peaks Ice Cream. She will attend the University of Alabama on a full-ride scholarship as part of her award, and she plans to continue using her voice to serve and uplift others.

​

Her Community Service Initiative, GRACE in Action for Those Who Came Before Us, focuses on bringing comfort and connection to Montana seniors. From delivering Sunshine Bags to performing music or reading during visits, Marygrace believes in honoring the generations who paved the way for us all.

​

A classically trained ballet dancer for over 13 years and a pianist since age five, Marygrace also champions body positivity and healthy self-image through her personal health initiative in alignment with #MissAmericaFit. She recognizes social media and technology as the defining challenge of her generation, describing them as both a blessing and a curse.

​

Marygrace Knuffke is ready to lead with grace, grit, heart, and a whole lot of joy as she proudly represents Montana on the national stage this fall.
