Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Stephanie Somers to the Milan C-2 family! 💚💛
Mrs. Somers will serve as our 5th & 6th Grade Reading Teacher. A proud Milan C-II High School graduate, she is excited to return to the district where her educational journey began.
Mrs. Somers attended the University of Missouri and later earned her degree from William Woods University. As she begins her 33rd year in education, she is thrilled to see her teaching career come full circle by returning home to Milan. She looks forward to sharing her passion for reading with students and making a positive impact in the classroom.
Outside of school, Mrs. Somers enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading, and making crafts. She is also a devoted fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals, and she loves cheering on her favorite teams. At home, she is accompanied by her Boston Terrier, Roxie.
Family is at the heart of Mrs. Somers' life. She is the widow of her late husband, Scott Somers, and treasures the love and support of her family. Her father is CJ Michael, and her sister is Shelly Forster. She is also a proud aunt to Alyssa Bankus and Drew Forster, and she loves spending time with her great-nieces and great-nephew, Raylen, Marley, and Sophie, with another great-niece expected to arrive this fall.
We are excited to welcome Mrs. Somers back to Milan C-2! Her decades of experience, dedication to students, and deep roots in the Wildcat community will be a tremendous asset to our school.

Wildcat Welcome!
Please join us in welcoming Ms. Cady Pauley back to the Milan C-2 family! 💚💛
Ms. Pauley will serve as our High School Physical Education Teacher, Head Girls Basketball Coach, Assistant Softball Coach, and Assistant Varsity Track Coach. A proud Milan C-2 High School graduate, she is excited to return home and invest in the students and community that helped shape her into the person she is today.
After graduating from Milan, Ms. Pauley spent her first two years playing Division I basketball at the University of Virginia before finishing her collegiate career at Missouri State University. Along the way, she competed in the ACC, Missouri Valley Conference, and Conference USA, and one of the highlights of her athletic career was helping her team earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament—a dream she had worked toward for years.
When she's not teaching or coaching, Ms. Pauley enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She loves hunting and fishing and could happily spend an entire day outdoors. She also enjoys watching and competing in sports, and in her spare time, you'll even find her hunting coyotes—with a little help from Nicholas Gardner!
Family means everything to Ms. Pauley. She has one sister, Emerson, who recently completed the LPN program and will begin the RN program at NCMC this fall. Her dad works for the railroad, her mom works at Milan C-2, and she also has grandparents and cousins who work in the district. Education has always been an important part of her family's story. She also treasures the time she spends with her younger cousins, who mean the world to her. Ms. Pauley says the support she has received from the Milan community has been incredible, and she considers that support system to be family. She credits them with helping her become the person she is today.
We are thrilled to welcome Ms. Pauley back home to Milan C-2! Her passion for education, dedication to athletics, and love for the Wildcat community will make a lasting impact on our students both in the classroom and on the court, field, and track.
💚 Welcome to the Wildcat Family, Ms. Pauley! 💛
