🎉🎉2025 Senior Spotlight 🎉🎉
Nayshla Hernandez will be a 2025 graduate of Milan C-2 High School. She is the daughter of Martha Menjivar and Rodolfo Hernandez and sister of Marjorie Menjivar, as well as Shaylin, Janneth, and Miridic Hernandez. Her favorite activity to do with her family is making tamales before the holidays for everyone to enjoy. Her favorite childhood memory is when she accidentally hit her dad with the Wii controller on his head.
Nayshla has been involved in Cheerleading (3 years), FBLA (3 years), Multicultural club (3 years), Yearbook (1 year), and Art club (1 year) at Milan C-2. The activity she enjoyed most was cheerleading because she loved stunting and she always had a lot of fun at practices and at football games. Her favorite high school memories are dancing on the field for homecomings.
The class Nayshla enjoyed the most was Yearbook because she would always have so much fun with her friends. Her biggest pet peeve is people that don't have common sense.
Outside of school, Nayshla enjoys sleeping, eating Chick-fil-a, and going to Baile's. If she had one wish, they would be best friends. The three words that best describe her are honest, genuine, and loving.
After High School, Nayshla plans to attend college and major in pre-dentistry. In 10 years, she sees herself living in Houston, Texas, in a beautiful house next to Leslie Bahena, living with her kids, dogs, and a pet chicken, while working at an orthodontic clinic.
Three things on her bucket list are to go to a Julion Alvarez concert, go to a sky lantern festival, and get in a pit with a bull at a jaripeo.
The person she admires most is her mom because not only does her mom love her endlessly, but she also supports and does her very best to be the best mother she can by being there for her, feeling for her, laughing with her, and much, much more. The way Nayshla’s mom believes in herself inspires Nayshla to do the same.
The coach that had the biggest impact on Nayshla was Ms. Brenna Jeffries because she pushed the cheer team to reach its full potential and always made Nayshla feel strong and hopeful in what she could bring to the team.
The thing Nayshla will miss the most about Milan C-2 High School is cheering at Friday Night Lights and seeing her friends every day. If there was one way she could be remembered at MHS, it would be as an amazing cheer flyer who always kept a smile on her face. The advice Nayshla would give underclassmen is to “do it for the plot” and have fun.

The class Joshie enjoyed the most was cadet, where she loved helping kids learn and had the opportunity to work with two great cadet teachers. Her biggest pet peeve is when people chew with their mouths open.
Outside of school, Joshie enjoys making bouquets, playing games on her iPad, and spending time with family and friends. If she had one wish, it would be to find the cure for lupus. The three words that best describe her are kind, shy, and motivated.

The thing Joshie will miss the most about Milan C-2 High School is the friendships she made. If there was one way she could be remembered at MHS, it would be as someone who was always kind.

Her favorite high school memory is when she ran over a bright orange cone coming out of the school parking lot.
The class Leslie enjoyed the most was art because there was no math involved, and she got to talk to her friends. Her biggest pet peeve is when her parents tell her “no”.
Outside of school, Leslie enjoys going to the gym, napping, and going to Baile's. If she had one wish, it would be to have a black card in her wallet. Four words that best describe her are: One, Of, A, Kind.

Three things on her bucket list are to attend a lantern festival, meet These Foos, and get a 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.
The person she admires most is her sister, Ashley Bahena, because she is a very hard-working person. Leslie strives to be like her big sister because she was the first in her family to finish her schooling and get into her dream job. Ashley never doubted Leslie and always supported all 10 different career paths that she wanted to major in because she was very indecisive and changed her mind every month.
The teacher who had the biggest impact on Leslie was Mrs. Brittney Pearson because she always made sure to check up on Leslie. Although Leslie got switched out of her cat time freshman year, Mrs. Pearson always included her in things she would do for her cat class.
The thing Leslie will miss the most about Milan C-2 High School is Friday Night Lights and being able to see her friends every day. If there was one way she could be remembered at MHS, it would be as the best nail tech. The advice Leslie would give to underclassmen is that if you're already late to school, you might as well go get some breakfast.
