Gary Waters, Hamilton County Department of Education Assistant SuperintendentStudents at East Hamilton Middle-High can add peanuts and Cracker Jack to their list of back-to-school supplies this year.
That’s because the school’s long-awaited baseball field is expected to be ready for the 2014 season.
Gary Waters, who oversees facilities for Hamilton County Schools, said Friday he has spoken with county engineers and the project is expected to be out for bid soon.
Waters cautioned, though, that students should not expect fancy amenities — or even bleachers. They better plan on bringing their own snacks.
“Lights won’t be included, a pressbox is not included or bleachers. It’s just basically to get a field that can be used for practice, and hopefully day games,” Waters said.
