New Nebraska High School Announced

The Elkhorn Public School Board in Elkhorn, Neb., recently approved plans to begin building a new high school. The school will be completed sometime in August 2020. Between now and the completion date, the new high school—the third in the district—will receive a name, mascot, and staff announcements. The contract for construction was awarded to the Lincoln-based Sampson Construction.

The proposed new high school is part of a larger voter-approved referendum, which will also be key in funding in the construction of a new middle and elementary school in the district.
