A big thank you to BISD Communications for capturing this day so beautifully for us! More pics and videos to come very soon.😉💜❤️
BelTech Expo may not have looked exactly like what was originally planned… but honestly, that’s what made it such a perfect reflection of who we are at New Tech!
By combining pieces of TechFest, ICE Awards, and Trashion Show, the Expo turned into something completely unique: part celebration, part showcase, part creative chaos — and fully centered around our students and their talents.
This event came together at the very end of a long and challenging year, and it took every bit of creativity, flexibility, teamwork, and determination to pull it off. Students and staff alike jumped in, adapted on the fly, and found ways to make things happen — which is exactly what New Tech is all about.
Was it perfect? Of course not. But the energy, the innovation, the art, the laughter, the runway moments, the awards, the projects, and the sense of community made it something really special.
BelTech Expo reminded us that some of the best moments happen when people come together, work with what they’ve got, and create something meaningful anyway.
And if this was only year one, we can’t wait to see where it goes from here!! 💚🐉
😭🎉❤️💜🐉👏👏👏
Aaaaand cue the happy tears😭❤️💜
When that end-of-school year delirium hits, the content opportunities get funnier 😂🤪❤️💜
It’s been one heck of a year, and we may all be needing a break, but we’re also looking forward to the year ahead! Catch us teachers running out the doors for summer, but we’ll be so happy to welcome our Dragons back in August!!

And that’s a wrap on the 25-26 school year, Dragons!! The day started with some silly senior pranks🤪 followed by Senior Breakfast! Another shoutout to everyone who contributed to this early morning feast. Then there was some serious ping pong competition happening in Mrs. Kaer’s room, so of course Coach Wedemeyer and Mr. Plemons had to get in on the action.😂 The day ended with the traditional student walkout (video coming), a few tears, and a whole lot of love for our amazing school.❤️💜
