About the PE Teachers...
Coach Cox- I grew up in Garner, NC, which is a suburb of Raleigh. In high school, I played soccer and I was the kicker on the football team. During the summers of high school, I was a YMCA camp counselor and that is when I decided I would like to be a teacher. I decided to go to East Carolina University and I majored in Physical Education and Health. I have been a PE/Health Teacher for the past 8 years. I began my teaching career teaching at Contentnea-Savannah K-8 School in Kinston, NC. I have been at Pactolus for the past four years! I am also the athletic director for Pactolus. When I am not teaching, I enjoy playing golf, surfing, and guitar!
Coach Thomas- I grew up in Rochester, MN. During high school, I played tennis and ran for the cross-country and track teams. After graduating high school, I moved to North Carolina. I attended East Carolina University and worked for the ECU Athletic Department. At ECU, I majored in Recreation & Park Management and received my Masters in Teaching. This is my first year teaching PE and Health at Pactolus. Outside of school, I enjoy traveling, playing tennis, running, and supporting the Pirates of ECU!
