Miss KCGC - 2008
Mickael McNeil

The August 2007 Scholarship Banquet was an exciting time for all, but this was especially true for Mickael McNeil who was crowned the new Miss KCGC for 2007-2008.

In her first year with the Kansas City Girls Choir, Mickael Janae’ McNeil has stood out as a leader in the group. Mickael is proud to uphold the legacy of her new title.  As the youngest of five children, Mickael, who is a sophomore at Raymore Peculiar High School, enjoys spending time with friends and family.

Mickael plays basketball and runs track in addition to her involvement with the girls choir.  As the point guard on the Ray-Pec basketball team and as the first leg of the 100 meter relay, Mickael continues to show leadership and dedication in everything that she does. “I was truly surprised to be voted as the new Miss KCGC”, said McNeil.  It is a special honor because it comes from the staff and the other choristers in the organization”. The young ladies in the choir consider each other as sisters and family members instead of just choir members.  Now as a role model herself, Mickael reflects on who her role models have been. She looks up to superstars like Alicia Keys and to her mother Ms. Margaret McNeil.  When asked what advice she has for others Mickael answered without hesitation: “Always be the best you can be – always stretch to be the best, and don’t stress”!  As Mickael continues her term as Miss KCGC, she looks forward to more dance numbers, more solos, making new friends and just having fun.
