Bev Facey High School - CARW2018
With this years CARW having a ‘Back to Geo-School’ theme, we thought we would school everyone with some actual schools! These caches will give you some history on some of the schools in the Strathcona County / Sherwood Park area. We hope you enjoy being schooled!
F.B. (Bev) Facey was Superintendent of the schools of County of Strathcona from 1962-1975. He was the last superintendent in the Clover Bar School Division and the first in the County. He retired in 1974.
Mr. Facey was referred to as diplomatic, charming, and competent individual. During his 15 years as superintendent, the school system grew from 4,000 to 11,000 pupils.
In 1977, retired Superintendent Bev Facey was commissioned to report on School Facility needs in the foreseeable future. His report, titled Looking Ahead to the 80s concluded with recommendations, one of which resulted in the building of "XYZ" high school he envisioned. It would become the Bev Facey High School, opened in 1981.
This school is also known as the arch nemesis of anyone who would have graduated from Salisbury Composite High School. Like the two cache owners. One Cam Ward, goaltender with the Carolina Hurricanes is an alumni of Bev Facey.. one more reason to dislike this school.
