Bio
Hi! My name is Melissa Bocanegra and this is my seventh year at St. Luke Catholic School. I have three years of experience in the high school math department and have been the 7th grade homeroom teacher here at St. Luke for 6 years. I attended UCSB for my undergraduate work and I will be attending Loyola Marymount University for graduate school. I am so excited to be the 8th grade homeroom teacher this year. I will be teaching math, social studies, art, and religion. I am looking forward to this year, even if it starts as distance learning!
My favorite thing to do is play and dance with my energetic one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Belen. I love singing, playing the guitar, and rocking out with my husband. I try to bring music into the classroom and I lead the music for the school Masses. I grew up in Bakersfield, but have been living in the LA area since 2010. I enjoy spending time with family and listening to podcasts in my spare time. Teaching is something that brings joy to my heart each and every year, and I am blessed to be able to have a job I truly love. Here’s to a great school year!
