Miss Middletown, Noa Mills (right) was crowned Miss Delaware USA 2023 on Sunday, April 30 at the Laird Performing Arts Center, Tatnall School in Wilmington.

The 25-year-old entrepreneur, philanthropist, and published author also placed fourth runner-up when she joined last year while representing Claymont. She will now prepare to represent the state of Delaware at Miss USA 2023 in Reno, Nevada.

Kelly Smith of Lewes was named first runner-up while Juliya Pattammady of Newark, Jasmine Lee of Dover, and Danielle Leigh Bjorlo of Georgetown were announced as the second, third, and fourth runners-up, respectively.

For the teens' division, Wilmington's Molly Lavelle clinched the Miss Delaware Teen USA 2023 title and will now proceed to the Miss Teen USA 2023 pageant.

Her court of runners-up includes Alexia Inhof of Smyrma, Cali Williams of Middletown, Kassidy Baptiste of Dover, and Tyrina Money of Odessa.

Last year's winners, Grace Lange and Ava MacMurray crowned their respective successors at the end of the glittering event.

The new Miss Delaware USA is an educational reform and mental health advocate who founded the organization ReThink Edu to revolutionize the education system.

Three years ago, she initiated her annual "Noa A. Mills" scholarship to provide financial assistance for Grade 11 to Graduate students in or from her home state of Delaware.

"It has been my honor to be a part of the academic journies of incredible students here in Delaware. Each year, I get the opportunity to participate in the forwarding of someone else’s academic success, getting to know their stories and actively contributing to their growth," she wrote on social media.
