BNTHS@W Colors and Mascot
School Colors: Red, Purple, and White
Red is the primary color as we proudly represent the Big Red Community. Purple is the secondary color to celebrate Captain Henry T. Waskow being awarded the Purple Heart. In addition, Belton New Tech @Waskow was the nation’s first Purple Heart School. The campus received the Purple Heart School designation to honor the sacrifices of Captain Waskow and to celebrate the support given to veterans and their families. White is the accent color.
School Mascot: Dragon
The Dragon has a nostalgic aspect and is an ode to Harris High School. The Dragon symbol has been used by soldiers for thousands of years. It is a fierce creature that inspires imaginations. Belton New Tech High School @ Waskow is a place where student innovation, creativity and imagination are valued and empowered. The Dragon is a natural fit as our campus mascot!

What Is the TSI Assessment?
The TSI Assessment (TSIA) is part of the Texas Success Initiative program designed to help your college or university determine if you are ready for college-level course work in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics. If you are an incoming college student in Texas, you are required to take the TSI Assessment to determine your readiness for college-level work. Based on how you perform, you may either be enrolled in a college-level course and/or be placed in the appropriate developmental course or intervention to improve your skills and prepare you for success in college-level courses.
Please fill out this form to create a practice account and sign up for testing. Testing dates are to be determined and will be sent out from Mrs. Giles to all students that are signed up for the exam.
