Brockton High graduate serving Navy finds success far from home

A Brockton native who graduated from Brockton High School is serving in the U.S. Navy while helping prepare ships for deployment from the West Coast, according to a community announcement. Petty Officer 2nd Class Joselin Fernandez, a 2019 Brockton High School graduate, serves as a logistics specialist with Commander, Naval Surface Group Southwest in San Diego. Fernandez, who joined the Navy five years ago, is also working toward a bachelor's degree in criminal justice through the University of Massachusetts Global. For Fernandez, the path to the Navy began while attending community college during the COVID-19 pandemic. “During COVID, I was attending community college when classes transitioned to a fully online format,” Fernandez said. “Balancing school while working two jobs became challenging, and I realized I wanted to pursue something more. I also recognized that many people never leave their hometowns, and I wanted to challenge myself, experience something different and create opportunities beyond what I had always known.” Fernandez said lessons learned growing up in Brockton continue to shape a military career. “Growing up taught me the importance of getting outside of my comfort zone and always striving for more,” Fernandez said. “I learned not to settle for what is

Literary Boston: A Book Lover’s Guide to Bookshops, Libraries and Hotels

Boston has always been a city of readers. It is where Emerson, Longfellow and Hawthorne gathered for dinner, where America’s great publishers once kept shop and where you can still sit under a vaulted ceiling with a book for an entire afternoon. Literary Boston is not a museum piece. It is woven into the streets, which is exactly what I love about it, and fall is the perfect season to explore it.

Spirit of 1676: remembering the Native American cataclysm of King Philip’s war

Massachusetts is proud of its ties to the American Revolution. From Paul Revere's Ride to the siege of Boston, the past year-plus has been devoted to celebrating 250 years of US independence. Yet during this time, the state, and New England in general, has given far less attention to an older, more complex remembrance: The 350th anniversary of King Philip's war.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Town, schools could get involved with bus issues

Regarding the School Committee meeting on Oct. 13, I read with some interest the section where the bus driver addressed the committee. She brought up points about the construction around the high school as well as elsewhere in town, parents being in the wrong area and lanes to collect their children, write-ups from drivers that are not acted upon and being late for school pickups due to returning unruly children to school.

Boston Globe political reporter James Pindell joins Morning Joe to discuss his latest piece: "The 2026 elections could reset the Republican Party and leave Democrats divided." Pindell warns that if Democrats sweep the midterms, the GOP will be forced to address underlying problems with President Donald Trump's brand of politics.
