The Young Women’s Service Club (YWSC) is excited to see who will be crowned as the 2025 Miss Outstanding Teen and Miss Minden on Saturday, January 18. The scholarship competition will begin at 7 p.m. at the Minden High School Auditorium.  

The Webster Parish Journal is happy to highlight each of the women who will be competing for a 2025 title. Next up, we have the Miss Outstanding Teen contenders and second on that list is Minden native, Piper Mandino. She will be competing for a chance to move on to Miss Louisiana later this year, along with a $1,000 scholarship that can be used to help further their education.  

Mandino is a freshman honor student at Glenbrook Private School. She enjoys being part of the Glenbrook Sundancers team, varsity basketball and tennis teams.  

In Piper’s spare time she enjoys modeling professionally, being part of a North Acres Church Youth and fundraising for Sassy Girl Resale.
