History of Central High

Central High School was Omaha's first all-grades public school opened in 1859 by the superintendent of education, Howard Kennedy.  It took twelve years for the school district to actually construct a high school.  In 1869 the Nebraska Legislature donated the old capitol building at 21st and Capitol to be used as a high school, but the building itself was never used.  It was declared unsafe and torn down in 1870 and a new high school was built starting the fall of 1870 and completed in 1871.  It is a common misunderstanding that the Central building that exist now was the old state capitol building, but it is not and is not even the original building built on the site in 1870.

The Central High School Music Department is dedicated to the development of self-esteem and self-confidence. It encourages team work, sportsmanship and contributions of one's personal best to a group effort. These lessons are learned through vocal and instrumental activities in which there is a blending of the performing arts.
