About Benson High
Founded in 1904, Benson High prides itself in its tradition, academic excellence, school spirit and a family-like atmosphere. Located in the historic Benson neighborhood of Omaha, NE, Benson High has an enrollment of approximately 1,350 students who come from all over the city. The student population closely matches that of Omaha in that it is extremely diverse socioeconomically, racially and culturally. We believe that students who go to school with students who do not necessarily look like them gives them an advantage as they move onto either post-secondary education or the work force. Our students learn to work with everyone.
Benson High is a comprehensive school, with a focus on academies. We are proud to be the first school in the Omaha metro area that had “Wall-to-Wall” career academies. Every student is in an academy. This means that while teaching the standard curriculum (English, math, social studies, science, etc.), there is a focus on our academies. All freshmen are a part of the Freshman Academy. Freshmen then choose from one of the following academies of which they will be a part for the next three years:
Design & Construction Academy
Business & Entrepreneurship Academy
Health Professions Academy
Cambridge Academy
Each academy allows our students exposure to content specific curriculum and real world application, allowing them to be college, career and civic life ready when they graduate. Each academy partners with various businesses across the city to enrich our students high school experience. While our focus is on the career academies, Benson High also offers traditional honors, advanced placement (AP) and dual enrollment (DE) classes for those students wishing to take advantage.
Benson High offers our students a traditional, comprehensive education that prepares them not only for post-secondary education, but for the career field as well. We have a caring and dedicated staff that believes in providing access to more opportunities for all students. We prepare students for the rest of their lives.

Logo
Logo is short for logotype, which is a brand’s name set in a special typeface in a particular way. Benson High’s logo incorporates the type and the image of the bunny arranged as you see here.
The bunny image alone is considered an icon, a representative symbol. The bunny head must always be straight, never tipped or rotated. The head should be placed above the Benson logotype, never alone. The Benson logotype can be used alone.
OPS/Benson Lock-Up
This lock-up is the arrangement of the Omaha Public Schools logo and the Benson logo separated by a line. If the logo and icon are in color, the OPS logo must also be in color.
