No secret decoder ring needed—names tell us all we need to know!

St. Cloud’s new Tech High has only been open for a few weeks. The old Tech High was featured many times in posts at RRW over the years here.

Here is the latest news from the St. Cloud Times:

The Stearns County Attorney’s Office charged five 17-year-olds, eight 16-year-olds, four 15-year-olds and two 14-year-olds; all but one of the students were boys.

ST. CLOUD — Nineteen students involved in the Sept. 25 fight at Tech High School are facing criminal charges, according to St. Cloud Police Assistant Chief Jeff Oxton.

A 16-year-old St. Cloud boy who displayed a pocket knife during the incident was charged with three felony counts. The other 18 students face felony or gross misdemeanor charges.

One male student sustained a broken nose in the fight; four of the students involved in the fight that led to the broken nose were charged with aiding and abetting third-degree assault, according to Oxton.

Felony charges include third-degree assault, aiding and abetting third-degree assault, second-degree riot, terroristic threats and possessing a dangerous weapon on school property.

The Sept. 25 fight prompted a large police response and put Tech in lockdown; classes resumed as normal the following day with a police presence as a precautionary step.

According to a previous statement from police, the fight stemmed from two 16-year-old male students of the same race who had “an issue with each other from a previous altercation that occurred off school grounds.”

During the fights, members of Tech’s staff attempted to intervene; three staff members received minor injuries while trying to stop the fights.
