Default Elkhorn South High School is not just another old school...

Elkhorn South not old school

When Elkhorn South High School opens next fall, it will feature all the trappings of a modern school building: geothermal heating and cooling systems, banks of windows to bring in natural light and miles of cable to support Internet access.

But that doesn't mean the school follows a boiler-plate design.

Teachers and staff visited new schools in Lincoln and Kansas City and provided input. Shop teachers came up with the idea of adding a storage area above the enclosed classroom within the high-ceilinged wood shop. Architects incorporated several E's in the building's exterior design.

Work continues slightly ahead of schedule, with the district set to take occupancy in May, said Mark Kalvoda, the school's principal, who skirted painters and stepped over construction materials on a recent tour. The structure is a dominant presence on the east side of U.S. Highway 6 south of Pacific Street.


The district recently began taking transfer requests for staff positions throughout the school system. The annual process was moved ahead several months to accommodate open positions at the high school and the new West Dodge Station Elementary, which also opens next fall.

It ain't Beverly Hills, but... They do quite a bit better than the rest of the state. As Omaha Grows further west Elkhorn is home to more and more of Omaha's wealthy.

Estimated median household income in 2007: $79,099 (it was $67,234 in 2000)

Elkhorn: $79,099 Nebraska: $47,085
