The Bryson Independent School District formally approved hiring Bowie native Chelsea Kincaid at a recent board meeting.

This will mark Kincaid’s first job right out of college; she is a 2016 graduate from the University of North Texas with a degree in kinesiology.

“I applied at three different schools, and I interviewed at two,” said Kincaid. “I’m thankful and super excited. This month has been hard, but I’ve handled it really well.”

Chelsea’s father, Kenneth Kincaid, died in mid-April. So, it hasn’t been easy, especially when trying to open a new chapter in life.

“Chelsea was one of those athletes who was older than her years,” Bowie High School head volleyball coach Jeanie Stark said.

Stark said because Kincaid’s mother, Machelle Mills, runs a day care facility it helped bring out Chelsea’s nurturing personality. Read more in the May 21 Bowie News.
