Good morning, Kissimmee.

County Commissioner Brandon Arrington toured Liberty High’s new engineering academy today and praised a $2.1 million investment that will fund building upgrades, equipment, and teacher training—this project is expected to complete later this month and is part of Osceola Prosper, which offers free college funding to local seniors. This effort aims to boost skills in high-demand STEM fields.

Osceola County Commissioner Peggy Choudhry met with regional leaders at the Polk County Sheriff’s Northeast Substation on May 9 to discuss water, infrastructure, and access to services in the fast-growing Four Corners region — the meeting offered updates on a new online tool and set plans for a future session in late August or early September. Leaders from Osceola, Polk, Lake, and Orange counties stressed that coordinated efforts are needed to support residents.

IDignity, a nonprofit that helps people get legal IDs, has seen more calls, emails, and referrals since REAL ID requirements began for domestic travel.

Program manager Micaela Cox said service days at 425 N. Magnolia Ave—held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with additional support in Seminole, Volusia, and Osceola counties—have helped clients navigate the new rules.

The City of Kissimmee is offering free yard waste pickup to help residents prepare for hurricane season.

Eligible households must place up to 6 cubic yards of unbagged yard waste including grass, leaves, and small branches at the curb by June 9 — a measure to reduce storm hazards.

Coach Don Simon returned to Harmony football today — he left his Athletics Director role at Tohopekaliga High to resume coaching and aims to improve the team's 3-7 record by focusing on offense with longtime defensive coordinator Nick Lippert.
