Highland applies to become New Tech High School

Representatives of New Tech High School met with the Highland Superintendent, school board members, and administration and local business leaders Nov. 11 to discuss the recent application the Highland School district submitted to become a new tech school.

If Highland is accepted through the letter of intent which it submitted, it will be only the third school in the state to participate in this revolutionary new approach to learning. New Tech schools utilize technology and teamwork, rather than traditional text book based learning.

Highland would join Cross County and Lincoln schools which began the process during the 2011-12 school year.
