Good morning, Kokomo.

The new clubhouse at Dykeman Park Golf Course held its soft opening Friday — after breaking ground on Oct.

10 — and visitors stopped by throughout the day as it launched ahead of Memorial Day.

Nine high school students from Tipton, Lewis Cass, Westfield, Noblesville and Hamilton Heights graduated last month from the two-year Chariot auto tech program at Chariot Automotive in partnership with Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo—addressing the local shortage of auto technicians. The program began in Tipton and later expanded to Kokomo, giving students hands-on learning and college credit.

Tri-Central High School held its 2025 graduation today with a photo gallery showing student achievements and key moments from the ceremony—each image documenting the milestone for its graduates.
