Bonham ISD is excited to announce the implementation of an electric vehicle (EV) project at Bonham High School.  Students and staff will convert a gasoline powered vehicle into an electric powered vehicle. 

Superintendent Sonny Cruse stated, "This project is the brain child of district technology technician Mike Barkley.  He has been working for over a year to get this project started."

Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Barkley several businesses have donated materials. 

Bonham Chrysler provided a Mazda B2200 PU for the sum of $1.  The towing of the vehicle from Bonham Chrysler to BHS was performed by Bill's Auto Body of Bonham.  The electric motor for the vehicle was donated by Daubitz A/C & Heating of Midlothian, TX.  Most recently, Georgia Tech University has donated 22 nickel cadmium batteries for the project.

Other businesses are highly encouraged to join the district in the completion of this project.  If interested please contact Mike Barkley at mailto:mike.barkley@bonhamisd.org.

This collaborative "hands on" learning experience will offer "real world" lessons on alternative fuel/energy choices and their benefits to our environment.
