Calvin Thomas
A native of Eufaula, Ala., Calvin Thomas has been passionate about sports since a young child, playing in numerous recreation and summer leagues. He advanced his career at Eufaula High School, along with playing AAU Basketball for the Detroit Fire (Detroit, Mich.) and the Georgia Blazers (Columbus, Ga.). Thomas then attended Tuskegee University where he played collegiate basketball for four years and earned a bachelor’s degree in History in 2014. Among many awards, he was voted the Most Valuable Player of the 2010 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship game as a freshman and earned three championship rings in four years. Thomas went on to play semi-pro basketball for the Auburn Flyers and played pro ball in Spain. Before working at Stewart County High, Thomas was an AAU coach, and served as a PE teacher, head basketball coach, and assistant football coach at Manchester Middle School (2017-2020). During that time, he pursued a Physical Education Certificate from Georgia Teacher Academy for Preparation and Pedagogy, earning it in 2020.
"Coach Thomas is focused on the entire student-athlete - mind, body and spirit, and I know our sports programs will benefit from his passion for athletics and dedication to player development," said High School Principal Carolyn Brewster.
“Pacelli caught my attention primarily because of its vibrant energy and culture,” Thomas notes. “Additionally, its emphasis on family-oriented practices and servant leader mindset, where everyone works toward a greater purpose beyond themselves, further solidified its appeal to me.”
Under Coach Thomas's direction, the Vikings Basketball team had a perfect 2025 season, culminating in a state championship win.
