Chelsea Kapalski
Poetry, Texas – January 9, 2025 – Chelsea Kapalski is this week’s PCCS Teacher of the Week. She began her teaching career in 2006 as a 4th grade teacher and a kindergarten teacher for the public schools (Garland, Rockwall, Katy, Stafford, and later Forney ISD) before “retiring” to raise a family. She holds a Bachelor’s in Academic Studies, enjoys teaching Writing Academy and teaching in small groups which allows for more one-on-one interventions, hands on, and reteaching. “I like seeing the lightbulb go off and showing kids they are capable!” She was longing to return to teaching and eagerly took an open Adjunct Faculty position in the Support Services Department at PCCS which offers the balance she wants between family and career. She joins Bethany Benton in coaching the Faith Blazers Dance Squad for the school. She and her husband, Cody, have two students enrolled at PCCS and attend The Gathering church. “It’s refreshing to know I can openly talk about God in class with students,” she says.
