History of Solomon Calhoun

Solomon Calhoun was a well accomplished educator, mentor, and coach in St. Johns County. He received a bachelor's and master's degree from Florida A&M University, and was the first person to be named Florida A&M's first-team all American football player in 1934.

In addition to teaching and holding a position as a principal, Calhoun was director of Pupil Welfare in St. Johns County. He also owned the Chapin Street Grocery and Washeteria in St. Augustine.

Being an active member in the community was evident as he was actively involved in organizations such as the NAACP, St. Paul A.M.E. Church, Grand United Order of Oddfellows, San Sebastian and Elks Lodge, National Retired Teachers Association, and St. Johns County Mental Health Association.
