🎓⚡ This summer wasn't just any summer — it was a starting point.

Nine weeks. Eighteen sessions. Countless lessons. Today, we proudly celebrate the graduates of the City Path Summer Academy! 🎉

What began as a vision to introduce young adults to careers in the electric utility industry became an investment in our community's future. Throughout the academy, participants gained hands-on experience in electrical fundamentals, safety, field skills, teamwork and leadership — preparing them for bright futures while helping build the next generation of our workforce.

A special thank you to Irby Utilities and Milwaukee Tool for their incredible partnership. 🛠️ Because of their generous support, every graduate received a professional tool kit to continue building their skills long after the academy ends. Your investment has created opportunities that will last for years to come.

Thank you to Coach Clinton Hart for delivering an inspiring keynote address and for your unwavering dedication to our community. 💙

We also extend our sincere appreciation to the City of Ocala's City Council, Senior Leadership, and our outstanding Ocala Electric Utility instructors, whose commitment made this academy possible. Special recognition goes to our founding leaders, OEU Director Doug Peebles and Community Engagement Coordinator Ramona Williamson, whose vision and leadership helped bring City Path to life.

👏 To our graduates: Congratulations! Your hard work, determination and commitment have laid the foundation for what's next. Keep learning, keep growing and keep powering your future. The best is yet to come!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year's National Night Out!

Hosted by the Ocala Police Department, National Night Out brought our community together for an evening of food, games, dancing, arts and crafts, emergency vehicle displays and family fun.

More importantly, National Night Out is an opportunity to strengthen the partnership between law enforcement and the community, promote crime prevention and neighborhood involvement, and remind us that a safer Ocala starts with neighbors working together.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this year's event a success. We can't wait to see you again next year!
