Morehouse College President David Thomas announced that he will retire next year, saying it is time for new leadership at the prominent all-male, historically Black school he has led since 2018.
Thomas, 67, said in a statement Friday that he will retire June 30, 2025, noting that “the most challenging moment for a leader is to know when it is in his and the institution’s best interest to step down.”

He plans to remain on the school faculty.
