Jocelyn Gruber is a 17 year old student of Grove City Area High School. She
will be a senior this fall and attending Slippery Rock University part-time
through the Fast Track Program. Her school activities include captain of the
football cheerleading squad, National Honor Society, Gifted Program, Project
Peers, and track.
Jocelyn became involved with the Miss America
Outstanding Teen Organization in September when she won the title of Miss
Greater Johnstown Outstanding Teen. She competed June 18, 2010 earning the
title of Miss Pennsylvania’s Outstanding Teen as well as being honored with the
overall talent award for her piano solo. Jocelyn has been playing piano since
the age of 5. She believes that piano is a universal language and loves to
perform for anyone who is willing to listen.
Her platform is “a call to service: motivating today’s
youth through the United States Public Service Academy”. She hopes to reignite
the fire of service throughout this generation by encouraging each person to use
the gifts which they possess for the benefit of America. Ultimately, Jocelyn
desires to promote adequate awareness for the United States Public Service
Academy in order for Congress to begin the building process. Already she has met
with Congresswoman Dahlkemper, Congressman Murtha, and received letters from Tom
Brokaw regarding the issue. For more information on the Academy please visit
www.uspublicserviceacademy.org and sign the petition for the act HR 2102.
Jocelyn will be competing for the title of Miss America’s Outstanding Teen 2010
on August 28, 2010 in Orlando, Florida. She is thrilled to have this
opportunity and hopes that she can put Pennsylvania on the map!
