Temple Police Department said one person died early Saturday morning when a speeding motorcyclist hit the back of a vehicle and went over the guardrail on Highway 36 while heading westbound; its Traffic Unit is investigating the crash.

Three hundred seventy-five students from Texas A&M University Central Texas received their degrees at the Cadence Bank Center in Belton on Saturday.

Four students in the CIS program will receive new graduation clothes from a local retailer in partnership with a city council member and Communities In Schools — a gift meant to support their upcoming graduation — as they prepare for the ceremony.

This act reflects the drive to help local students celebrate their academic milestone.

Temple is growing fast and basic services like water & trash collection are under strain.

City officials plan to expand police & fire departments to meet rising demand.
