🎉🎉2025 Senior Spotlight 🎉🎉Jocelyn Dykes will be a 2025 graduate of Milan C-2 High School and is the daughter of Rikki McConkey and Jacob Dykes and sister of Jaxon Dykes, Haydn Weaver, and Dason Weaver. Her favorite activities to do with her family are bonfires and card games. Her favorite childhood memory is playing kickball with all of the neighborhood kids.
Jocelyn has been involved in Cheer(4) where she was cheer captain for 2 of those years. Topcats(2), FFA(3), Science Club(4), Art Club(2), Multi-Cultural Club(2), Upward Bound(3), National Honor Society(2), and Student Council where she is now serving as Student Council president at Milan C-2. The activity she enjoys most is Cheer because she has made some of her closest friends through it. Her favorite high school memory is when she almost set the ag shop on fire while welding.
The class Jocelyn enjoyed the most was Food Science because she got to make lots of delicious food with some of her favorite people and her favorite teacher, Ms.Fullerton. Her biggest pet peeve is when people talk about something they know nothing about.
Outside of school, Jocelyn enjoys hanging out with family and friends. If she had one wish it would be to have more time to spend with her brother Dason. The three words that best describe her are outgoing, motivated, and kind.
After High School, Jocelyn plans to attend Louisianna State University and get her degree in media training. In 10 years, she sees herself in media training for the Buffalo Bills. Three things on her bucket list are to visit Paris and eat a croissant, go skydiving, and swim with pigs in the Bahamas.
The person she admires most is her mother, Rikki, because she never gave up on her, and showed her how strong and independent she could truly be.
.
The coach that had the biggest impact on Jocelyn is her coach Laci Holt, because Laci never stopped believing in Jocelyn and brought out her passion for cheer and dance again.
The thing Jocelyn will miss the most about Milan C-2 High School is her classmates and teachers. If there was one way she could be remembered at MHS, it would be bringing back the over-night senior trip. The advice Jocelyn would give underclassmen is you’re going to make mistakes, so don’t worry about the past, you can’t change it anyway.
