George H.W. Bush New Tech Odessa (NTO)

In 2011, Ector County Independent School District opened the doors to New Tech Odessa. New Tech Odessa (NTO) is an all-academic college prep high school designed to equip students with 21st century skills. 

Through the use of technology, project-based learning, problem-based learning, and a small learning environment, students who attend NTO will graduate with the necessary skills to compete in a global economy. 

While attending NTO, students fulfill state requirements for recommended or distinguished achievement, as well as earn college credit through Advanced Placement (AP) courses and partnerships with local universities and colleges.  All courses are taught at the Honors, AP, and Dual Credit levels.  In addition, students are provided the opportunity to explore potential career opportunities through internships with local businesses and civic organizations.
