🎉🎉2025 Senior Spotlight 🎉🎉Gunner Baker will be a 2025 graduate of Milan C-2 High School. He is the son of Brooke Boyd, and Joseph and Brandy Baker. He is the brother of Eston Baker, Taleena Weaver, Clayton Baker, Kyler Baker, Kamden Baker, Max Sibley, Leon Sibley, and—his favorite of all—Jalen Boyd.
His favorite activities to do with his family are fishing, SxS riding, and hanging out with his girlfriend, Kenadie Dover. His favorite childhood memory is going to his Grandma B’s house. He remembers sitting on the cabinet while she baked oatmeal cookies and sneaking cookie dough from the bowl when she wasn’t looking!
His favorite high school memory was being in Mr. Kelly’s class. The class Gunner enjoyed the most was Mr. Kelly’s, because he made his life better. He accepted Gunner and helped make him a better student and person. His biggest pet peeve is his brother Eston always fooling around and messing with him—especially when he’s trying to sleep.
Outside of school, Gunner enjoys fishing because that’s when he gets the most time with his family. If he had one wish, it would be to have gotten the chance to fish with his Grandpa Howard. The three words that best describe him are big-hearted, easygoing, and creative.
After high school, Gunner plans to attend a welding institution, where he will complete his welding degree before hitting the road as a traveling union welder. In 10 years, he sees himself living in a farmhouse, married to Kenadie Dover, and having 10 kids (all boys). Three things on his bucket list are: to go to Key West, Florida; throw the first pitch at a St. Louis Cardinals game; and own a Toyota Supra.
The person he admires most is his mom, because she has always worked so hard to give him the best life. Regardless of what she had to go through, she has always pushed him to do better. She taught him that no matter what happens in life, there is always a positive in every negative. She showed him how to love and taught him how to be a good man.
The teacher who had the biggest impact on Gunner is Mr. Kelly, because from Day 1, Mr. Kelly believed in him. He accepted Gunner for who he is—with all his shenanigans. He reminded him of what an awesome kid he was and that he could do anything he put his mind to. Mr. Kelly rocks!
The thing Gunner will miss the most about Milan C-2 High School is Mr. Kelly.
The advice Gunner would give underclassmen is: You may think that high school sucks, but just stay positive about it. There are teachers like Mr. Kelly who help you see the light at the end of the tunnel—and will help make you successful!

The activity he enjoyed most was football because it was a good place to release my anger.

He also helped him prepare for his future in the Marines. His biggest pet peeve is liars.

Three things on his bucket list are to see the Colosseum in Rome, do his part in watering the Tree of Liberty, and have more money than he knows what to do with .
The people he admires most are his parents because they are both very hard-working, and they always put their wants aside for what they think is best for their family.
The thing Caleb 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 as a friend that is always there for others.

The advice Pamela would give underclassmen is to experience high school the way you want to, have as much fun as you can (responsibly), and keep your future self in mind.
