Elkhorn North High School is a public high school located in Omaha, Nebraska. The school serves students in grades 9 through 12 and is one of three traditional high schools operated by Elkhorn Public Schools.
After targeting a parcel of land near 180th Street and West Maple Road for a potential third high school, Elkhorn Public Schools made three offers to buy the parcel from a development group, and when all were rejected, exercised eminent domain in 2017 in order to acquire the land.[1] A successful mail-in referendum in March 2018 authorized EPS to build the third high school, which was expected to draw students mainly from Elkhorn High School.[2] In September, school officials revealed a columbia blue, black and silver color scheme with a wolf mascot, chosen over eagles and nighthawks.[3] Construction began the following month; at that time, the estimated cost was $78.5 million.[4] Boundaries for the school were released in early 2019, confirming that the school would draw entirely from former Elkhorn territory.[5]
The school opened for classes in fall 2020 with students in grades 9-11; that year's juniors will form the first senior class in the 2021–22 school year.[6]
The original Elkhorn North building was constructed to serve 1,200 students with an area of 254,000 square feet with the option to add a 600-student addition later on.[7]
Elkhorn North offers dual enrollment classes through the University of Nebraska Omaha[8] and Nebraska Wesleyan University.
ENHS athletic teams compete in the Eastern Midlands Conference.[9]
