Over the years, Bonner Elementary has been recognized for various accomplishments. Some of them have been related to academics and others for customer service. These awards do not fully represent the amount of time and effort that goes into working with our students or the amount of effort that our students put into their learning but they do demonstrate that others have seen brief glimpses of what makes Bonner the “The Best Hidden Secret of Berkeley County.”
