Christopher S. Thomas

Christopher S. Thomas is currently an 8th grade science teacher at Wiesbaden Middle School in Weisbaden, Germany. Born in Texas, Thomas grew up and attended school in Tennessee. He worked his way through college, earning his bachelor's degree in 1998 and master's degree in education in 2000, both from Old Dominion University.

Thomas' service to DoDEA began as an intern in the Baumholder community in 1999, followed by a professional position at Seoul American Middle School from2000-2006. During this time, he separated from DoDEA for one school year to return to the states, working for Ann Arbor Public Schools in Michigan, and marrying the love of his life, Christie Morrison. Following his return to Seoul, Thomas and his family transferred to Wiesbaden, Germany - first to Hainerberg Elementary School, and then Wiesbaden Middle School.

Thomas' focus and passion has always been middle level education. His primary field is science, though he has taught numerous electives, AVID, social studies courses and math.

Thomas has been a proud member of the National Education Association since his pre-service experiences in the NEA Student Program. He is currently serving as the Wiesbaden Education Association President, and believes strongly in the collaborative power of association members and administration.

Thomas feels fortunate to have had the opportunity to serve military families and their children for the last 13 years. He feels that unique components of our military community allow for a supportive environment in which academic excellence is not only expected, but the norm.

Thomas' family is a priority to him. He and his wife have three young children.
