Shelly Graves

Head of school

My name is Rachelle (Shelly) Graves. I am a 30 year plus educator with a passion for virtual school. I’m excited to offer families and students a flexible alternative to traditional schooling. I love thinking outside the box and looking for challenging, authentic learning experiences. I have found the platform of online learning to be very rewarding, and appreciate the connections our team has made with families over the years. When I’m not in my office, you can find me outdoors. I enjoy helping on our family farm and ranch, watching rodeos, and playing with my grandkids.
 
 
 

Allison Young

Director of technology

I was born and raised in central Texas. I graduated from Stephenville High School. I attended Texas State University, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies with a major in Elementary Education and English as a Second Language. After finishing my bachelor’s degree in 2013, I completed a Masters in Education for Educational Leadership at Northwestern Oklahoma State University in 2016.

I am currently serving my 12th year in education. The last 7 years I have been in an administration position as an assistant principal in a traditional school setting, principal for ESVCA, and now as our Head of School. I continue to choose education because I want to be part of a process to help individuals learn, to be part of something greater than just myself. In this new era, we need to accept that not all children want to be in the traditional school setting. Our children have a choice in their educational journey. I believe virtual public education can meet the new era of learning for students. To start authentic learning we need to emphasize individualizing educational pathways for all students. I will always believe a well-educated person takes risks, unafraid of failure or success, stemming from experiences in a caring and safe learning environment.

 

 

Kylie Sanders

DIRECTOR OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION

I am a born and raised Okie! I was born in Duncan, OK and moved to the city area in 2000. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education Degree from Oklahoma Christian University and completed my masters in Education Administration from Southwestern Oklahoma State University. I currently live in Guthrie with my husband and 2 sons. My husband is a football coach (Go Bluejays) and we attend Memorial Road Church of Christ. I enjoy sports and being with friends and family. In my free time you’d find me trying to keep my plants alive, watching any sporting event on TV or in person, and unfortunately, shopping. Fun fact: I eat ice cream with a fork.

I am starting my 13th year in education and I love it because you get a chance to show kids that school can and should be fun. Students get one chance at their education and it is my mission and goal to make any school I am a part of providing the best education for our students because they are our future.

ESVCA allows students the flexibility to grow and develop academically while earning an education that prepares them for college and the workforce. 
 
 
 
 
Emily Cofer

Emily Cofer

DISTRICT REGISTRAR

I was born in Oklahoma and raised in Mustang. I went to school K-12 in Mustang and graduated in 2001. I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Elementary Education in 2003 from the University of Central Oklahoma and returned to obtain my Masters in 2012 to become a Reading Specialist.

I chose Education because I love helping others. I am a herder. I like to organize and I love watching people grow. I enjoy using the skills God gave me to serve students and show them what they are capable of. I love seeing kids grasp new concepts and find lifelong interests through reading and studying the multitudes of things there are out there to learn. Out of the almost 20 years since I have graduated from college, I have taught for 7. In between those years, I have stayed home with 3 kiddos. I have done my very best to teach them as they were my students too. I chose Virtual because my youngest is 2 years old. I want to give him the same opportunities and experiences that my 14 and 15 year-olds had. I want him to have every moment to soak up the best knowledge he can get while I am doing what I love.

Lynette Anderson

Lynette Anderson

ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT

Hello! My name is Lynette Anderson and I work in the office as an Administrative Assistant. My family is the most important part of my life and I have been happily married for 26 years, with one beautiful daughter. We also have 4 dogs ( rescues) 1 cat ( also rescue) and 2 birds.

I was born in California but have lived most of my life in Oklahoma, where I graduated from Langston University with a degree in Radiology. While I enjoyed working in the medical field, I found my true calling while working with students. This also gave me the opportunity to become a coach for the Special Olympics, which was the highlight of my 9 years spent with brick and mortar. Why virtual? The role I have at ESVCA is much different from what I’ve done in the past. Working in the office compared to teaching in the classroom has been just as rewarding and has shown me both sides are just as important.

I’m reminded daily how fortunate I am to have found ESVCA and be a part of it. I love that we have entered a time where students and families can experience non-traditional learning opportunities in ways that work best for them. There are so many wonderful possibilities for myself as an Educator, as well as for students.

When I have a little free time, I love binging shows and reading, especially Fiction/Historical Fiction. Most of my time is spent hanging out with a three-year-old, and that’s pretty great, too.
