🎉🎉2026 Senior Spotlight 🎉🎉Today, we’re celebrating one of our seniors! 🎓
Jaiven Smith will be a 2026 graduate of Milan C-2 High School and is the son of Michelle Glasscock and Jericho Smith and brother of Maddison Cornell, Jordan Ward, and Kendrick Smith. His favorite activity to do with his family is hunting turkeys with his Grandpa Troy. His favorite childhood memory is going fishing with his mom.
Jaiven has been involved in Baseball (2), Football (4), Trapshooting (3) at Milan C-2. The activity he enjoys most is football because it is a chance to really feel alive. His favorite high school memory is when the football team went to the final 4 in 2023. The class Jaiven enjoyed the most was Mr. Hayes' class because if you ever needed someone to talk to, he was there.
Outside of school, Jaiven enjoys going fishing, hunting, and spending time with family. If he had one wish, it would be that his mom were healthy. The three words that best describe him are hardworking, easy-going, and energetic.
After High School, Jaiven plans to attend Kirksville Area Technical Center. In 10 years, he sees himself being married and starting a family.
The person he admires most is his mother because she is never afraid to stand for what is right. The coach who had the biggest impact on Jaiven is Coach Cole because he taught him the true meaning of football and what it meant to be part of a brotherhood.
The thing Jaiven will miss the most about Milan C-2 High School is playing football. If there was one way he could be remembered at MHS, it would be his commitment to football, playing through injuries and never giving up. The advice Jaiven would give underclassmen is don't take your senior year for granted. One day you'll look up, and you'll be in your last game you'll ever play, then it's over. No more Friday night lights, no more practices, and no more sore mornings, it's gone.
We’re excited to announce your Prom King and Queen!

🎉🎉2026 Senior Spotlight 🎉🎉Today, we’re celebrating one of our seniors! 🎓
Alaina Grace Moseley will be a 2026 graduate of Milan C-2 High School and is the daughter of Jonathon and Janessa Moseley and sister of Watson and Oliver Moseley. Her favorite activity to do with her family is going to her Grandpa Moseley or Great Grandpa Scott’s farms.
The class Alaina enjoyed the most was Mr. Kelly's because, even though they didn’t always see eye to eye, he stuck with her to the end. Her biggest pet peeve is loud chewing.
Outside of school, Alaina enjoys watching TV, doing diamond dots and reading. The three words that best describe her are sassy, talkative, and stubborn.
After High School, Alaina plans to attend Chillicothe Beauty Academy then pursue a career in cosmetology. In 10 years, she sees herself having her own salon and living somewhere with animals.
The people she admires most are her grandparents because they have taught her a lot in life.
The thing Alaina will miss the most about Milan C-2 High School is nothing but is thankful for Mr. Kelly because otherwise she would not have been able to get through High School. If there was one way she could be remembered at MHS, it would be by being determined. The advice Alaina would give underclassmen is don’t procrastinate.

Alexa has been involved in FFA (4), Art Club (4), and National Honor Society (2) at Milan C-2. The activity she enjoys most is FFA because she can skip school and learn about agriculture with her friends.
The class Alexa enjoyed the most was Art because she could let her creativity thrive without any limits. Her biggest pet peeve is people clicking their boots on the floor.
Outside of school, Alexa enjoys spending time with family and friends. If she had one wish, it would be to appreciate the time she has with her friends. The three words that best describe her are sarcastic, smart, and stubborn.

🎉🎉2026 Senior Spotlight 🎉🎉Today, we’re celebrating one of our seniors! 🎓
Alexander Hull will be a 2026 graduate of Milan C-2 High School and is the son of Brandy and Joseph Hull and brother of Allison Hull. His favorite activity to do with his family is going on vacations to the beach. His favorite childhood memory is going to Sea World San Antonio, where he went swimming with a dolphin, and he was also able to go into the penguin enclosure, where he got bitten by a penguin on the leg.
Alexander has been involved in Football (2), FFA (4), Golf (4), and National Honor Society (2) at Milan C-2. Alexander received Academic All-State in football his senior year. The activity he enjoys most is football and weights. Even though practices were miserable, it was still fun to practice with the team. His favorite high school memory is when he walked into his first full pads football practice with Coach Cole wearing his girdle backwards and making his first tackle.
Outside of school, Alexander enjoys lifting weights, listening to music, video gaming, and hanging out with his friends. Alexander also trains with Traditional Youn Wha Ryu and is a black belt in martial arts. The three words that best describe him are quiet, helpful, and smart.
After High School, Alexander plans to attend Mizzou, where he plans to get a degree in Civil Engineering. In 10 years, he sees himself working at an engineering firm. Two things on his bucket list are to learn Spanish and go to Mexico.
The two people he admires most are Master Natalie and Master Mark, his Martial Arts instructors, because they have taught him to have confidence on and off the martial arts mats through the 6 Traditional Youn Wha Ryu Martial Arts principles: be polite, be patient, be alert, be brave, do your best, and respect yourself and others.
Honorable Mentions for the teachers with the biggest impact on Alexander are Ms. Hullinger, Mrs. Widner, and Mr. Sayre. Ms. Hullinger let him persuade her to let him out of a page of cursive writing because his argument was so good. Mrs. Widner has supported him from his first day of kindergarten to his senior year of A+ Cadet. Mr. Sayre, because he’s Mr. Sayre, just an all-around good guy.
The thing Alexander will miss the most about Milan C-2 High School is seeing friends and classmates every day. If there was one way he could be remembered at MHS, it would be as the smart one. The advice Alexander would give underclassmen is Do Your Work, Don’t Use AI.

Addison Sylvester will be a 2026 graduate of Milan C-2 High School and is the daughter of Megan Stephenson and Daniel Sylvester. Addison is the sister of Andra, Emily, Derrick, and Katlynn Sylvester and Kendrick Smith. Her favorite childhood memories were spent with her siblings.
Addison has been involved in FFA (4 years), Softball (4 years), Tech Intern (3 years), National Honor Society (2 years), Basketball (2 years), Track (2 years), Student Council (1 year), and FBLA (1 year) at Milan C-2. The activity she enjoys most is FFA because she is able to be herself and meet many new people. Her favorite high school memories are winning State and National FFA Knowledge with Lexi, Gracie, Hayden, and Mr. Sayre, as well as the many knowledge practices.
The class Addison enjoyed the most was Greenhouse because she loves taking care of plants and spending the class time with her friends. Her biggest pet peeve is when people have no compassion for others. Outside of school, Addison enjoys spending time with her family and friends, especially the countless nights watching Love Island and softball tournaments with Katlynn. If she had one wish, it would be to have photographic memory.
After High School, Addison plans to attend Moberly Area Community College (Columbia) and enter the Surgical Technology program. Upon completion, she plans to pursue a career as a Surgical Technologist. In 10 years, she sees herself continuing her career and living a life that she loves. Three things on Addison’s bucket list are to visit many states and countries, see Harry Styles in concert, and have a Maine Coon cat.
The person Addison admires most is her mom because she is the most selfless person she has ever met. No matter the circumstances, she has done everything she can to give Addison and Kendrick the best life possible. She is also someone that Addison could come to with anything and never fear judgment. Addison also admires her work ethic and her strive to be the best at what she does.
The thing Addison will miss the most about Milan C-2 High School is having an excuse to see her friends every day. The advice Addison would give underclassmen is to prioritize their grades early, because in the end, it will all be worth it.
