First-ever junior Miss Buck will return to role for her senior year

The annual Miss Buck assembly was held on March 14 at Dunmore High School.

After the performances of the candidates, the student body voted and Julia Temperino was selected as 2025-2026 Miss Buck.

Temperino also served as Miss Buck for the previous 2024-2025 school year, taking the baton then from Mia Irving. She was the first ever Junior Miss Buck in Dunmore High history.

When The Dunmorean spoke to Julia last fall about taking on the role, she said, “I want to be a good role model who everyone looks up to.”

“I hope people look up to me just as I did with previous Miss Bucks. I want to be a role model to others just like them. I remember talking to Miss Buck as a little girl. I was always impressed. I always liked the way Miss Buck represented Dunmore. I want to be like that.”
