Plattsmouth High School

Rating: Good

The educational program at Plattsmouth High School (PHS) is comprehensive and is designed to meet the diverse needs of all students. More than 130 courses provide choices for over 450 students. The school uses a wall-to-wall career academy approach. It is organized into three broad career-education academies that offer honors, advanced placement, and dual credit courses. Through these academies, students are prepared academically and otherwise for college and career experiences. The high school building provides a 600-seat auditorium, a 1 to 1 learning initiative, two gymnasiums, an industrial technology lab, a greenhouse, and a state-of-the-art activities complex with synthetic turf. A $7 mil. skilled and technical sciences addition will be completed in 2021. In 2018, PHS received the Outstanding Rule 47 Career Academy Program award from the Nebraska Department of Education. In 2019, PHS's three career academies earned National Career Academy Coalition Model Status.
