History
The creation of two new high schools for Omaha Public Schools, the first in the district since Omaha Bryan High School in 1971, was added as a part of the Phase 2 Bond issue, approved by Omaha Public Schools voters in 2018.[4] Westview, located at the intersection of 156th and Ida streets in far northwest Omaha and designed to accommodate up to 1,500 students, was substantially completed in May 2022. It opened for students in August for the 2022-2023 school year, initially serving students in grades nine and ten. Westview phased in all four grades starting with the 2024–2025 school year.[5]
Westview partially shares facilities with a YMCA branch that is connected to the school building, including a pool and exercise rooms.
