Ms. Bonham is the upper school American history teacher and head of the history department. She is excited to be joining the TCA family this year. With more than a decade in education and experience across grades 3-12, she has found her true passion in teaching upper school American history — especially the period between the Civil War and World War II.

Originally from Minnesota, she taught there as well as in North Dakota, Kentucky, and Florida. She joins TCA from Naples Classical Academy in Florida, where she taught upper school history. Outside of school, she enjoys cooking, reading, embroidery, and running outside.
