Miss Stroud 2026 Sydney Arguello

Sydney Arguello is honored to serve as Miss Stroud. Growing up in the small town of McLoud, Oklahoma, she developed a deep appreciation for community, connection, and service - values that shape everything she does today.

Thanks to the scholarship opportunities provided by the Miss America Organization, Sydney is proudly pursuing her degree in Elementary Education at the University of Central Oklahoma. This support has allowed her to focus fully on her academic goals and her dream of becoming the kind of teacher who inspires students the way her own teachers inspired her: with encouragement, creativity, and confidence. She is passionate about creating a classroom where curiosity is celebrated, learning is joyful, and every child feels seen, valued, and empowered to think boldly.

Her community service initiative, Very Eager to Serve (V.E.T.S.), is deeply influenced by her family’s long history of military service. Through this initiative, Sydney works to connect local students with opportunities to support veterans, helping young people experience the impact of service while addressing real needs within the veteran community.

In her free time, Sydney enjoys strength training and focusing on whole-body well-being. She is proud to carry the Miss Stroud title and is committed to uplifting her community through leadership, service, and heart.
