🎉🎉2026 Senior Spotlight 🎉🎉Today, we’re celebrating one of our seniors! 🎓
Juan Pablo Alvarez Rodriguez will be a 2026 graduate of Milan C-2 High School and is the son of Gerardo Vega and Angelica Rodriguez and brother of Gerardo Alvarez. His favorite activity to do with his family is traveling out of the country. His favorite childhood memory is when he went to Sky Zone for the first time with his friends.

Juan has been involved in Track (4), Band (3), and the Multicultural Club (1) at Milan C-2. The activity he enjoys most is Weight Lifting because it has taught him patience, discipline, and the value of consistent effort. His favorite high school memory is when, at a Kirksville track meet, Cesar was sleeping in the bleachers, and Mr. Wilcox had to go get him because the boys' 4x2 relay was about to start.

The class Juan enjoyed the most was P.E because he got to play volleyball with his friends, which allowed them to learn the sport together and grow a stronger bond. His biggest pet peeve is people standing in the middle of the hallways as people are trying to get through. 

Outside of school, Juan enjoys hanging out with his friends, going to the gym, and staying active throughout the day. If he had one wish, it would be for nobody to worry about taxes anymore. The three words that best describe him are kind, funny, and hardworking. 

After High School, Juan plans to go into the workforce and eventually start his own landscaping business. In 10 years, he sees himself being financially stable and living back in Mexico with the rest of his family. Three things on his bucket list are to get closer to God, go skydiving, and travel to Japan. 

The people he admires most are his parents because they always taught him to make good choices and to try in school, so he could have a better future. He appreciates them for all that they have sacrificed for him and been there for him in important times. He’s forever thankful for their unconditional love and support.  

The teacher who had the biggest impact on Juan is Mr. Smith, because he helped him develop his English skills and grow as a student. He thanks him for all the money he spent on his Cat time to keep them fed. 

The thing Juan will miss the most about Milan C-2 High School is sitting at lunch and talking with his friends. If there were one way he could be remembered at MHS, it would be as a kind and respectful person who gets along with everybody.

The advice Juan would give to underclassmen is to do their homework and be respectful to their teachers. Because they’re not there to fail you but to help you succeed as long as you put in the effort.
