History
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.[2] 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.[3] In September, school officials revealed a columbia blue, black and silver color scheme with a wolf mascot, chosen over eagles and nighthawks.[4] Construction began the following month; at that time, the estimated cost was $78.5 million.[5] Boundaries for the school were released in early 2019, confirming that the school would draw entirely from former Elkhorn territory.[6]
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.[7]
Facilities
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.[8]
Academics
Elkhorn North offers dual enrollment classes through the University of Nebraska Omaha[9] and Nebraska Wesleyan University.
