From Tallenette To Miss Texas: Taylor Davis Visits Allen ISD Schools

Miss Texas USA Taylor Davis returned to her hometown schools this month, leading confidence-building workshops with students at Allen High School and Ereckson Middle School.

Davis, a former Allen High School Tallenette, shared her “Hail Mary” workshop, a program designed to introduce the S.M.A.R.T. goal method while encouraging positive self-image and peer support. The session gave current dance students a chance to hear directly from someone who once stood in their shoes.

From Tallenette To Miss Texas USA

The visit carried extra meaning for Davis, who once performed as a Tallenette in the 2016 Rose Parade. According to the official statement, she has often credited that experience with helping her build discipline, stage presence and resilience — skills she continues to use in her career today.

Her journey since graduating high school has been wide-ranging. Davis earned a degree from Howard University, served as a campus queen, and now works as a Social Media Analyst for the National Football League, where she tracks engagement trends and creator content.

Mentorship At The Core

Beyond her professional role, Davis has made mentorship a cornerstone of her work. Through programs like “Hail Mary,” she focuses on helping young women set goals, find confidence and support one another.
