History
Bloomington's New Tech High School is part of the larger New Tech Network, which includes over 100 schools across the United States. The school is funded through district funds, state grants, and community donations. The Bloomington New Tech High School building was originally the Rogers Building Supplies main building. It was renovated to become a school.
The New Tech model is characterized by three principles:
- A new instructional approach that engages learners;
- A culture that empowers students and teachers; and
- Fully applied technology that supports deep learning.
In 2012, Alan Veach, the founding Principal of BNTHS, took a position within the New Tech Network. On July 24, 2012, the MCCSC Board of School Trustees named Dr. Bruce Colston as his successor.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.”
—Imre Lakatos (1922–1974)
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“Revolutions are the periods of history when individuals count most.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
