New Tech is named after Belton native Capt. Henry T. Waskow, who died while serving in World War II. Waskow’s legacy was largely defined by his commitment to helping others and dedicating his life to having a positive impact on those he led, his community and his country. In 2015, New Tech was named the country’s first-ever Purple Heart School.
