Our Outdoor Classroom

Our campus has several acres of prairie, wetlands, woodlands and a large Bioswale that offsets the chemical pollution picked up by parking lot runoff. Visit the classroom to learn more about Nebraska native species through material made by our students!

We are committed to meeting students where they are in their development by providing them with a supportive and challenging academic experience that will help them maximize their full potential on their journey toward college and career readiness. Our hope is that they will accomplish all of this while also connecting to the many clubs, athletics and activities that we have to offer as part of a well rounded high school experience.
