Millard North High School

Millard North is one of three high schools in Omaha to carry the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, and was the first in the state to offer it. Along with Millard North Middle School, Millard North High School offers the IB Middle Years Programme.[3] The only other schools in Nebraska that offer the Diploma Programme are Lincoln High School in Lincoln and Omaha Central in Omaha.

Millard North is part of the Millard Public Schools System, which offers the Academy program for those students aspiring to a particular career after graduation. Millard North was home to the Finance Academy which started in 2009, but was ended after the 2012-13 school year. Millard North sends students to the other three Millard high schools to participate in the other academies. Currently there are five academies offered in the Millard district: Education at West; Entrepreneurship at South; and Culinary Skills, Health Sciences, and Distribution and Logistics Management at Horizon. Academy students graduate with almost a full year of college credit (though this varies by academy) and partake in the program during the junior and senior years of high school.[4]

Millard North has two official student publications. The Hoofbeat, the newspaper, is published every three weeks and maintains an online website. The publication received the Cornhusker Award in 2011, 2015, 2016 and 2020.[7] The Stampede, the school yearbook, is published in May with a supplement published in August. The Millard North journalism program won first place overall in the 2011 Nebraska state competition and were co-State Champions in 2012.[8]

Millard North operates an economics program, associated with the Advanced Placement Program, to compete in the Nebraska Economics Challenge.[9] Millard North won four straight championships from 2011-2012 to 2014-2015.[10]
