As he leaves the nest at West Noble, Baker is reflecting on what he will miss most. âThe students,â he said. âWe have a great bunch of kids. I never say âIâm going to work.â I always say, âIâm going to school. Itâs the relationships with the kids.â Baker didnât take the direct route into education and it took him a while to figure out what his lifeâs work would be. He entered the U.S. Marine Corps right out of high school, serving four years before his discharge. After that, he worked at various construction jobs, RV factories and other jobs to try to figure out what he wanted to do. That all changed suddenly at a workplace in Millersburg.
