Meet the BOCES Staff

Bridget Stewart
Executive Director
Hello Everyone! My name is Bridget Stewart and I am the Executive Director for Oyster Ridge Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), which is also known as the Western Wyoming Community College Kemmerer Outreach. Our focus is to work with students in the high schools and the college and help them achieve their educational goals. The BOCES is dedicated to providing the community with services and opportunities for continuing education and enrichment in the following areas: vocational, technical and professional education, broadly based education in the Arts, Sciences and Humanities for degree seeking and non-degree seeking students, personal growth, recreation and leisure, along with mental and physical fitness. We love helping students and the community! In December 2006, I graduated from the University of Wyoming with a Bachelor’s of Science in Marketing and a Minor in Human Resource Management. In March 2015, I graduated from Walden University with a Masters in Higher Education. I have lived in southwest Wyoming for the majority of my life and now I live in Kemmerer with my husband and our kids. We love to be outside and we have so much fun on my family’s ranch. When we are not helping out on the ranch we travel a lot to go see family and friends. We love to go to basketball and football games and support the Kemmerer Rangers and the University of Wyoming! GO POKES!

Josie Shelton
Technology Center Facilitator
Technology Center Facilitator at Kemmerer Junior Senior High School. This position includes supervising the dual enrolled high school students in the classroom while they are taking Western Wyoming Community College classes online. This position allows me to motivate and assist the students with positive and helpful face-to-face interactions every day. I love being in the classroom with the students watching them learn, grow and achieve the very most they can in their educational journey. I find it most rewarding to use my life experience and passion for helping others to help the students achieve their goals and ambitions while balancing their high school and college classes.
I am originally from Paris, Idaho but have lived in Kemmerer, Wyoming with my husband and our 4 boys since 2013. I love children of any age...my children, your children, everyone's children. They bring me so much joy and make my world turn. I enjoy watching the Chicago Cubs play baseball and dream of visiting every MLB stadium someday. With 4 boys I stay very busy traveling around to watch them play sports while my husband coaches them. We love to go fishing, ride dirt bikes, go camping, and of course play baseball. The person I look up to the most is my oldest son. I hope I can be just like him when I grow up..
