__________________________________________________________________________ Faver School is home to Alternative Education and the Bluejay Academy! At Faver, our goal for the on-campus program is to provide students an opportunity to complete their high school education in a structured yet flexible setting. Sound contradictory?? Through the alt-ed on-campus program, we are allowed to have flexibility with our hours, thus allowing students to attend class and then work, take care of family, etc. The structured factor is apparent in that the time spent at school is very focused on the progression toward the completion of the credits necessary for the receipt of a high school diploma. Credit recovery is the goal!!
The Bluejay Academy is a virtual educational offering for students in grades 7-12. Bluejay Academy is free of charge to students accepted to the program. (Students must live in the GPS school district.) Students who apply and are accepted into the program will be able to take up to 100 percent of their courses online. Students will also have the option to take elective courses at the junior high or high school and be able to compete as a Bluejay.
Mrs. Benson:
My husband, Dee, serves as the District's technology director. We have two sons and a beautiful daughter-in-law—all three are lifelong Bluejays. Jay and Jordan are graduates of OSU-Stillwater, and Jameson is a graduate of OSU-IT. Jay is an Assistant Principal at GUES after serving many years as a teacher in the intergenerational pre-K program at Willow Creek. His wonderful wife is a multimedia producer for the OSU Department of Wellness. They are the parents of our beautiful granddaughters. Jameson is in Gas Control with ONEOK.
I love reading, watching bull riding / rodeo, sewing when I have time, stage musicals -- especially OKLAHOMA!, and fishing with my guys. My time on the lake is my "happy time." Naps are also very high on my priority list.
