7th & 8th Grade
Welcome!
Hello, My name is Mrs. Barbara Bonkoski. My husband Ray and I are members of St. Joseph Parish Erie. We have four adult sons, Phillip ( married to Tiffany), Anthony, Joseph and Jonathan. I have been teaching at St. Joseph Catholic School for sixteen years. I am passionate about teaching and inspiring young people and I have been so blessed! I strive to help young people to grow in their relationship with Jesus, practice virtues and become a Saint!
I teach our Catholic Faith, Theology of the Body, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, English and Literature. I enjoy doing hands-on lessons such as Stem Challenges and guiding students to become a critical thinkers. I also teach life skills such as problem solving, logic, personal finance, time management and more. I believe these are essential skills that will help students in their daily lives. I am grateful for the opportunity to inspire students to a deeper love for God and to guide them in their academic challenges to reach their highest potential.
Teaching is a Blessing in my Life.
