My name is Ms. Cathleen Koss. I am the eighth grade homeroom teacher here at St. Joseph. I've been teaching at the middle school level with the Joliet diocese since 1999 and at St. Joseph since 2001. I get to teach my favorite subjects with some really great kids, to work with language and teach the faith. My certifications include K-9 elementary education, 6-12 English and social science endorsement. I've had the opportunity to teach across the board at this level and have enjoyed all subjects. Curiosity, a surface springboard, keeps me going - along with the delight of inspiration in writing and the Catholic faith. I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoy most every day here.
