Fond du Lac teen crowned United States of America’s Teen 2024

St. Mary’s Springs Academy has announced that one of it’s students, Fond du Lac resident Havah Fleisner has been crowned “United States of America’s Teen 2024.”

Havah is a junior at Springs and was crowned at the pageant on July 7th in San Antonio, Texas.

Havah ran on the platform of “Through Her Eyes: Living Life Legally Blind.” She was diagnosed with a genetic eye disease six years ago, at the age of nine, which affects the sharpness of her vision.

Havah had an important message to give at the pageant which was “to show girls across America and Wisconsin that being legally blind, different, or having a disability shouldn’t stop you. It should empower, inspire, and uplift you to do what you want to do, and to never let it stop you.”

She says she is proud to represent Wisconsin as the United States of America’s Teen 2024.
