Bonham students can enroll in pre-Advanced Placement and honors level classes, which prepare them for high school AP courses through which they can earn college credit. Bonham continually applauds the efforts of students through its honor roll, Magnificent Mustangs, and other reward and recognition programs. Bonham boasts many academic achievements. Students who are talented in literary skills also find avenues for expression and achievement at Bonham. BMS has produced several regional and state winners in the National PTA Reflections Contest in both art and literature.
