Catalina (Katie) Viola Rivera Catalina Viola DeHerrera was
Jun. 7—Catalina (Katie) Viola Rivera Catalina Viola DeHerrera was born to Jacobo and Juanita DeHerrera in the Spring of 1932 during late lambing season in El Copar, just Southeast of Cuba, New Mexico in the Nacimiento Mountain foothills. She was one of eleven children born to Jacobo and Juanita, nine of which grew into adulthood. She loved being outdoors with her two brothers: older brother Felimon and younger brother Jacobito. Growing up a tomboy, she would rather be outdoors than in the kitchen with her older sisters Emma and Elodia. Her other siblings included her older brother Lalo and younger siblings Anna, Willie, and Elden. After high school she went to Santa Fe and worked for the State of New Mexico, living with her cousin Marcia Gurule. She later moved to Albuquerque and attended business school, eventually getting a job with the Employment Security Commission. She met her future husband, Roy Rivera, at St. Joseph's College while on a double date with her sister Elodia. Roy and Katie wed at San Jose Church in the summer of 1956. In 1957, they greeted their first and only child, Roy Jr. Katie continued working until 1972, when she decided to go back to school to become an educator like her husband, Roy. In 1975, she received her bachelor's degree in Bilingual Education from the University of New Mexico. For the next fifteen years, she worked for The Albuquerque Public Schools (APS), in various schools, with fourth grade being her specialty. The elementary schools she worked at were Emerson, Dolores Gonzales, Los Padillas and later Eubank and Hodgin Elementary. Everywhere Katie went, she would always encounter and remember a student that she had taught. She would also run into first cousins (she had 108 of them). Katie and her husband loved traveling, especially out of the Country. In 1988, Katie welcomed her daughter-in-law, Mary Frances into the family. Katie was not always a good cook, but after many years of practice feeding her family, she became one of the best. Katie was a competitive cook, always learning new recipes and trying to make the old ones better. Aunt Katie, as many nephews and nieces called her, loved her extended family, but she especially loved her two granddaughters Sharayah and Rachael, taking care of them while their mother worked. After retiring from APS, Katie spent summers at the farm in Sile, NM with her husband. After her husband died, (exactly nine months prior), Katie spent her time talking on the phone with her friends, watching her Telenovelas and praying her Rosary. She was a lifelong parishioner of Queen of Heaven Church. I am sure that Katie is now awaiting the time when the rest of her family will join her in Heaven.

APS teacher arrested after accusations of sexual relationships with students
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) –An Albuquerque Public School teacher is out of a job after he's accused of having inappropriate relationships with students. The criminal complaint highlights multiple concerns from parents, fellow teachers, and students that launched the investigation. Albuquerque man who founded an aerospace start-up company facing federal charges A little over a year ago, Albuquerque Public School teachers reported concerning behavior from a John Adams Middle School teacher while out on a field trip to Urban Air. A criminal complaint stated that while on the bus to Urban Air, teachers and the bus driver saw then 33-year-old Patrick Corr lying across two female students' laps after he was told to sit down. Also on that trip, a student said she felt extremely uncomfortable seeing Corr pick up and toss a handful of female students in the ball pit, she claims without consent. That was all reported to the school's principal and an internal investigation began. Corr was placed on administrative leave at the end of the 2024 school year, as APS police investigated. That was just the tip of the iceberg. As the next school year started, staff found letters in Corr's classroom from students. The letters calling the teacher, 'Daddy Corr,' 'hot,' and that 'they love him.' The complaint goes on to mention two female victims, a 16-year-old and and a 17-year-old, who spent the night at Corr's home. The 17-year-old was Corr's former student. She said they had been Snapchatting since 2020, when she started eighth grade and they also sent inappropriate photos to each other at least once. She told officers he bought alcohol for her and her 16-year-old cousin before taking them to his home. The complaint states the teen was drunk but remembers Corr having sex with her, and the following morning he gave her Plan B. Another teen victim claimed that while drinking, Corr got her pregnant twice. She ended both pregnancies. A search warrant from Corr's Snapchat account showed 50 usernames were either former students at John Adams or were currently enrolled there. Police arrested Corr Monday night, he faces a slew of charges including three counts of having sex with a minor. The conduct Patrick Corr is accused of is reprehensible. APS Police first began its investigation into an allegation against Mr. Corr in May 2024, and he was placed on leave that same month. He tendered his resignation on May 14, 2025. Due to the allegations being criminal in nature and because we didn't want to jeopardize the criminal case, we allowed the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office to take the lead in the investigation in August 2024. APS has cooperated throughout the investigation. Prior to being hired by APS, Mr. Corr underwent an extensive background check, which included being fingerprinted, and he cleared that background check. Mr. Corr was a teacher at John Adams Middle School from 2019 until he was placed on leave. As the investigation is still ongoing, the district will have no further comment at this time.

Students seem to be enjoying the program and also being able to express and demonstrate some of the learning that they've had through the experience here at the museum,' said Gabriuel Nemiroff, Director of Education, National Museum of Nuclear Science and History. The museum said the pilot program was a huge success and hopes it becomes part of the APS curriculum, which would bring in 4,500 students each year.
