SHINING ON HER OWN TERMS: LINDA BOEQUI CROWNED UTAH MISS AMAZING TEEN 2026

The Mountain Ridge community is bursting with pride as we celebrate junior Linda Boequi, who was recently crowned Utah Miss Amazing Teen 2026 at the 14th annual AMPLIFY Event.

Miss Amazing is a national organization that creates spaces for girls and women with disabilities to define their futures with pride. Their flagship AMPLIFY program is all about speaking up for one's passions and ambitions—and Linda did exactly that.

Linda isn't just a leader on the stage; she is a leader in our hallways. Currently serving as a paraeducator intern in our Life Skills classroom, Linda has dedicated her time to supporting her peers and building a community of inclusion.

"It’s been really cool to see her excel and build her confidence in supporting others. She's very caring and loves to work with little kids as well as teenagers." — Mrs. Waite, MRHS Teacher

Linda, you represent the very best of what it means to be a Sentinel. We can't wait to watch you "Amplify" your voice across the state this year!
