Belton Independent School District also chose a new mascot; The Dragons. This decision was made after much deliberation by students and staff and was ultimately chosen in honor of the mascot of the former Harris High School, which was Belton's all-Black high school until it was integrated into Belton High School in 1964. The dragon mascot also serves as a nod to the engineering and creativity that Belton New Tech fosters on campus. The colors chosen for the campus were Red and white (Belton High School's colors) as well as purple to reflect BNT@W's status as a Purple Heart school and the commitment each student makes to improve their community.
