Wednesday was a big day for Bob Rice.  He was there at Hamilton Southeastern Intermediate & Junior High School (also known at “The HIJH”) for the “Flip the Switch” ceremony, marking the start of generating electricity for the school building through the solar arrays on the HIJH property.

You can read more about the solar array project in a story I posted July 23rd at this link.

The local school district is partnering with a private firm, Ameresco, in this solar endeavor.

HSE High School Athletic Director Jim Brown flipped the switch Wednesday morning, starting the solar power to be used at the school building next door,
