It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that Chelsea Public Schools shares the unexpected passing of longtime educator, coach, mentor, and Green Dragon icon, Coach Frank Captain.
Coach Captain dedicated the overwhelming majority of his life and career to Chelsea Public Schools. Beginning in the fall of 1985, he served generations of students and athletes with unmatched passion, loyalty, and heart. Aside from a few years spent serving at Quinton, Bartlesville, and Cleveland, Chelsea was his home and his life’s work.
Over the course of his career, Coach Captain served as an elementary PE teacher, assistant football coach, head football coach, head girls track coach, and ultimately built our boys and girls cross country programs as their head coach. In the classroom, he impacted students first through elementary physical education and later as a respected high school U.S. History and AP U.S. History teacher.
But Coach Captain’s legacy reaches far beyond titles, classrooms, or wins and losses.
He poured himself into people. He believed in students when they struggled to believe in themselves. He had a rare ability to motivate, encourage, challenge, and inspire others to become more than they thought possible. His influence shaped not only athletes and students, but families, colleagues, and an entire community.
The Captain family holds a special place in the heart of Chelsea Public Schools and the Chelsea community. His wife, Madalyn, faithfully served our district for 26 years as an elementary teacher and reading specialist. Together, their family has left an immeasurable mark on generations of Green Dragons.
As a district and community, we are grieving together. Many of us simply do not know Chelsea Schools without Frank Captain. For me personally, Coach Captain was my first grade PE teacher and my first football coach. He is one of the reasons I became an educator. Like so many others, I can honestly say this school will never feel quite the same without him.
During this difficult time, we ask our community to continue lifting the Captain family in prayer. We pray for grace, understanding, comfort, strength, and peace in the days ahead. We also pray that we honor Coach Captain’s legacy by continuing to invest in students and each other in a way that reflects the heart of what it truly means to be a Green Dragon.
Funeral services for Coach Captain will be held on Thursday, May 21 at 11:00 AM in the Dale Wilson Memorial Gymnasium on the campus of Chelsea High School.
Coach Captain’s impact on this school and community cannot be fully measured, and his legacy will continue to live on through the countless lives he changed over the last four decades.

Chelsea Students Take on the Ozarks!
On May 1, 2026, students from across the district traded the classroom for the rolling hills of Branson, Missouri. It was a day filled with history, breathtaking views, and, of course, some "throwed rolls." The group arrived at Top of the Rock to explore The Ancient Ozarks Natural History Museum. From prehistoric creatures to expansive galleries of Native American artifacts, the students got an up-close look at the rich heritage of the region.
The natural beauty of the Ozark Mountains provided a stunning backdrop for the day. No trip to the area is complete without a stop at Lambert’s Cafe. The students enjoyed a hearty meal (and hopefully caught a few rolls!).
-- A huge thank you to our dedicated chaperones: Hellen Henry (After-school Language Tutor) Travis & Allison Battles ( Travis also does our after school JOM program) Kenlee Walker (Co/Advisor NASA) Pam Phillips (JOM/NASA)
This educational adventure was made possible by the Indian Education Parent Group/JOM. We are incredibly grateful for their continued support in providing these enriching opportunities for our students!
Two seniors from Chelsea High School, Isaiah Holt and Tori Simmons, traveled to Tahlequah to receive their official Cherokee Nation photo IDs. These IDs are issued by a federally recognized tribe and serve as a valid form of alternate identification. While they provide extra security for students heading to college, they do not replace a standard Driver’s License. To stay current, these IDs should be updated every 6 years.
