Gretna Public Schools
By: Ryan Renner, Realtor
I have helped many families moving to Omaha. Contact me if you have any questions about the Omaha area or need help buying a home.
Located between the larger cities of Omaha and Lincoln, Gretna Public Schools started out as a small district, but has grown to now serve more than 5,000 students.
Still maintaining more of a small-town atmosphere, the fast-growing school district includes eight elementary schools, two middle schools, and two high schools.
Through an agreement with Metropolitan Community College, the high school offers the option of earning college credit hours in certain courses. Many students enrolled in Gretna Schools are involved in extracurricular sports, clubs and fine arts organizations. The entire district is additionally accredited by AdvancED.
