A brief history of St. Cloud Tech High School
St. Cloud Tech’s story is woven into the growth of the city itself. Public secondary education in St. Cloud traces its roots to the late 19th century, when a formal high school program began serving local students. As the community expanded in the early 1900s, so did the vision for a modern high school that would prepare young people for college, careers, and civic life.
That vision took shape with the opening of the iconic granite Tech High School building in 1917, overlooking Lake George. For generations, the 1917 building symbolized academic rigor, Tiger pride, and a thriving extracurricular culture—from championship athletics and music to debate, theater, and student leadership. The school’s programs evolved alongside the region’s industries and aspirations, with “Tech” becoming synonymous with innovation, craftsmanship, and community spirit.
In the 2010s, the district and community charted the next chapter. Following years of planning and public input, voters approved funding to build a new, state-of-the-art facility designed for contemporary learning. The new Tech High School opened in 2019, ushering in advanced labs, collaborative learning spaces, and modern arts and athletics amenities—while carrying forward the traditions and values that define Tiger Nation. The beloved 1917 building has since been thoughtfully repurposed, preserving its architectural character and continuing to serve St. Cloud in new ways.
