‘People, not politics’ for Holyoke Mayoral Candidate Gloria Caballero-Roca
Updated May 11, 2021;
HOLYOKE – Gloria Caballero-Roca became the sixth and first Latina mayoral candidate for the Sept. 21 mayoral primary. The political newcomer’s campaign will focus “on people – not politics.”
She collected the necessary 250 signatures for inclusion on the Sept. 21 ballot, joining City Councilors Rebecca Lisi and Michael J. Sullivan, School Committee Member Devin Sheehan, William ‘Billy’ Glidden, and Joshua Garcia, currently Blandford’s town administrator.
In 1997, Caballero-Roca migrated to the U.S. from her native Havana, Cuba, eventually settling in Holyoke with her husband and two children in 1999. She taught Spanish at Milton Academy in Milton, Massachusetts.
Whether it’s dealing with student loans or tuition struggles, the pandemic hasn’t been easy on college students across the country. But for many teens, the desire to chase their academic dreams and attend a top-notch school hasn’t dwindled, a new survey indicates.
Thousands of students have their eyes set on 50 independent schools aka nonpublic
schools, according to Test Innovators. The Seattle-based online test prep company polled more than 16,000 students about the high schools they plan to apply to for the 2021-22 school year. A few fun facts: Fourteen of these schools on their minds are in California, 92 percent of them are co-ed, and they have notable alumni think poets T.S. Eliot and Ralph Waldo Emerson, astronaut Sally Ride, and business magnate Bill Gates.
