Meet the Principal
Dear Bonham Parents and Students,
My name is Michael Hobbs. I am honored to be the new principal at Bonham Middle School! This will be my sixth year at BMS and TISD. My educational experience includes serving as a high school Biology teacher in Livingston ISD, a Physics teacher and football/baseball coach in College Station ISD, a head baseball coach in Lexington ISD and an assistant principal at Bonham Middle School the last five years. I received a Bachelors in Science degree from Texas A&M University in 2008 and a Masters of Educational Leadership from Lamar University in 2016.
At Bonham Middle School, our motto is “Hard work pays off!” We strive to instill that in our students everyday. We provide the highest quality education possible; so, our students achieve their maximum potential. We accomplish this through our Mission, Vision and Goals:
