I graduated with my Master's in Art History and a minor in Studio Art and my Teaching Certificate from Michigan State University, and this year marks my 26th year teaching High School Art! I teach Ceramics 1 & 2 and Advanced Ceramics 1-3 at Douglas High School.
I love traveling and with every trip, I have been fortunate to be awarded, I always share information with our students at Douglas. This is accomplished with cultural based projects in Art classes and presentations to Social Studies classes and the larger community.
Since 2017 I have been fortunate enough to travel to Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Switzerland, Mexico, Spain and Portugal. I enjoy all types of music, and I try to learn about styles and eras. In 2024, I got married and my last name has changed from Ms. Bonner to Ms. Heinrich- it's a transition for many, including myself.
