The Fishers City Council put the spotlight on a number of local groups Monday night.

There was a graduation ceremony for those completing the Fishers Government Academy, with the presentation of certificates to the graduates. The 10-week class gives local residents an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at how their city government works.

Council members also brought the spotlight to two organizations at Fishers High School – the Color Guard and the Percussion Ensemble. Both won state and world championships.

The council also issued proclamations for:

  • Mental Health Month
  • National Public Service Week
  • National Gun Violence Awareness Day
