Rock Creek Community Academy in Sellersburg is nearing completion on installing new solar energy panels, an initiative funded through Samtec that Superintendent Jennifer Brown said could save the charter school up to $1 million over the next 30 years. When school goes back into session Aug. 6, students in science, math and elective classes will also reap the benefits of the solar panels, which will be used to teach them about environmental conservation.

SELLERSBURG — A Southern Indiana charter school is nearly finished with a new solar energy project expected to generate significant long-term savings over the next 30 years and teach students about environmental conservation.
For the past three weeks, said Superintendent Jennifer Brown, Rock Creek Community Academy has undergone the installation of solar panels on the roof of its Sellersburg campus, the realization of a goal the school set in motion two years ago. With Duke Energy now working to install the necessary electrical components, the energy-saving project is set to be finished in time for the 2026-27 school year, which begins at Rock Creek on Aug. 6.
