Colonel W.T. Bondurant, Jr.
August 24, 1926 – June 12, 2009
San Antonio Academy is sad to announce the passing of Colonel W.T. Bondurant, Jr., affectionately known as “Colonel B.” We will miss you deeply.
“Bondurant led San Antonio Academy, loved teaching”
Education was a high priority in the life of W.T. Bondurant, Jr. After all, his father was president of San Antonio Academy, a position Bondurant secured upon his father’s retirement.
But before earning the top position at the Academy, Bondurant taught virtually every subject over a span of 20 years.
