Athletics State championships "The N-Word" controversy In April 2007, the student newspaper published a four-page special feature entitled "The N-Word" examining the use of the racial epithet "nigger" within the school community. It included factual reporting, editorial content, and a transcript of a round-table discussion on the topic in one of the school's ethics classes. Community response was mixed. Many students and parents, and the school's principal, were supportive of the newspaper's coverage, but the school district received many phone calls expressing concern or offense at the content. The school district, Omaha Public Schools, put the principal on temporary administrative leave and denounced the publication. The principal was later reinstated.

Omaha Community Playhouse

The Omaha Community Playhouse, located at 6915 Cass Street in Omaha, Nebraska, United States, is a nationally recognized community theater. Founded in 1924, the Playhouse's first president was Alan McDonald, architect of the Joslyn Art Museum, and its first play, directed by Greg Foley in April 1925, was The Enchanted Cottage, which starred Dodie Brando, the mother of Marlon Brando. When, later in the Playhouse's first season, the need arose for a young man to play the lead for You and I, Dodie Brando suggested that twenty-year-old Henry Fonda, son of her friend Herberta Fonda, contact the director. The Playhouse would later see the acting debut of Marlon Brando, Dorothy McGuire, and Julie Wilson, and appearances by Letitia Baldrige, Glenn Cunningham, and Lenka Peterson. The Nebraska Theatre Caravan, the playhouse's touring unit, was founded in 1976. The Playhouse experienced tremendous growth throughout the 1980s and 1990s under the direction of Charles Jones.

Omaha Public Power District

Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) is a public electric utility in the state of Nebraska. It is wholly owned by the Nebraska state government, and controlled by a special district. OPPD serves more than 855,000 people in Omaha and 13 surrounding counties in southeast eastern Nebraska. OPPD was formed in 1946 as a political subdivision of the State of Nebraska, taking over the operations of the privately owned Nebraska Power Company. Nebraska is the only US state in which all electric utilities are government owned. A publicly elected eight-member Board of Directors sets rates and policies. History The Nebraska Unicameral created OPPD as a division of the state government on December 2, 1946. It acquired the Maine-based Nebraska Power Company for $42,000,000 ($693 million in 2025) after a four-year political struggle. Prior to its acquisition, NPC was the only privately owned remaining in the state. In January 1965, the Eastern Nebraska Public Power District was merged into OPPD, adding four counties to its service area. In September 1973, OPPD's Fort Calhoun Nuclear Generating Station entered commercial service. In 1996, OPPD purchased a rail line running from Lincoln to Nebraska City from BNSF Railway. In 2014, OPPD joined the newly created Southwest Power Pool. In December 2019, the board of the Omaha Public Power District voted to commit to net-zero emissions by 2050. A 400- to 600-megawatt solar array is planned, as is the closing of three gas-fired power units, and the conversion of two coal-burning units to natural gas. In 2021, due to a storm, OPPD experienced its largest-ever outage, affecting 188,000 customers. OPPD was named "Highest in Customer Satisfaction among Midsize Utilities in the Midwest" in the J.D. Power and Associates 2009 Electric Utility Residential Customer Satisfaction Study. In 2012, OPPD was awarded its 12th J.D. Power and Associates award. Facilities OPPD formerly operated the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Generating Station near Fort Calhoun. After 42 years of operation (interrupted by flooding from 2011 to 2013), the plant was shut down on October 25, 2016, and is in the process of being decommissioned. OPPD operates other generating stations in North Omaha, Nebraska City, Valley, Elkhorn and in Cass County; coal, natural gas, oil, wind turbines, solar, and landfill gas are used to generate electricity at their power plants. OPPD also purchases 81 megawatts of hydroelectricity capacity from the Western Area Power Administration. OPPD has the exclusive rights to power from two privately-operated solar power stations of 5 and 81 megawatts in Fort Calhoun and Saunders County respectively.

The district covers most of Papillion, almost all of La Vista, and small portions of Bellevue, Chalco, and Offutt AFB. The district was originally established as the Papillion School District, but with the rapid growth of La Vista (incorporated in 1960), the name of the city was officially added to the school district's name in 1987 by former Superintendent Roger Miller. The school district serves over 12,000 students and is an official Purple Star school disctrict.

Most students from Papillion Junior High graduate to Papillion-La Vista South High School, while students from La Vista Junior High move on to attend Papillion-La Vista Senior High School. Liberty Middle School was opened in 2016 as a means to ease the over-enrolling of students in the other two middle schools and has a mixture of students who would have gone to either of the two middle schools. Elementary Schools Alternative/Specialized Schools Superintendent Superintendent Rick Black, who began in 2007, announced his retirement at the end of the 2012–2013 school year.

Peter Kiewit Institute

The Peter Kiewit Institute (PKI) is an engineering teaching and research facility primarily located on the campus of the University of Nebraska Omaha in Omaha, Nebraska. Established in 1996, it is administered by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln College of Engineering in partnership with private-sector companies. History In the mid-1960s, the University of Nebraska absorbed the Municipal College of Omaha to create the University of Nebraska system. Though the universities are administered separately, the engineering programs of both schools were merged in 1970 under the auspices of the Lincoln campus. The combined program founded the Peter Kiewit Institute in 1996, with the majority of its initial $70-million grant coming from private-sector investment. Construction of a 192,000-square-foot building to house the institute on the Scott Engineering Campus (approximately a half-mile south of Omaha's main campus) cost $37 million, and the remainder was used to establish an endowment fund. It was dedicated in honor of Peter Kiewit, co-founder of the Kiewit Corporation whose foundation donated significantly to the new institute. PKI states that its goal is "to help meet the needs of the nation's technology and engineering firms by providing a top-flight education to students interested in pursuing careers in information science, technology and engineering." The institute houses the Omaha branch of the Holland Computing Center and the Firefly computer cluster, and provides facilities for the Charles W. Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction, which was established in 2005 and is recognized as one of the top programs of its kind in the United States. In 2024, the university began exploring a significant expansion of PKI, in terms of both enrollment and available academic space. Colleges and degrees PKI offers degree programs in both Lincoln and Omaha. Approximately one-third of NU's engineering students take at least a portion of their credit hours through the Peter Kiewit Institute.
