DESCRIPTION PROVIDED BY THE SCHOOL BUILDING
Benson High, in the middle of the historic community of Benson, is one of Omaha’s most famous arts and entertainment districts. Benson is the state’s only “wall-to-wall” career academy school where every student is involved in a career academy program. Our career academies were designed by a taskforce comprised of alumni, community members, business leaders, faculty, staff and external stakeholders. There are three Career Academy themes: Business & Entrepreneurship, Health Professions, and Construction & Design. Each introduces students to “Career Ladders”; opportunities for students to enter employment directly after high school, continue their post secondary training (at a community college and/or university) or do both – work and continue with school. All students will have access to a college preparatory curriculum. Instruction will be tailored to the individual student and s/he will have access to Honors and Advanced Placement® coursework in each of the three academy programs.
