Fall Sports and Activities Season Wrap-Up

Dec 14, 2020 | News

Opening a new school during a pandemic has been challenging, but ENHS is thrilled that our students and coaches had the opportunity to compete in the activities and events that they enjoy.  


The ENHS Fine Arts Department was most directly impacted as they were unable to participate in a competitive marching band season, but the Band was able to perform at halftime at all home football games.  Additionally, Choral Music Teacher Ms. Simmons created and released a remote choral concert featuring her students, and the music department held an in-person concert in the gym and commons area in December.  


The inaugural season for the ENHS Wolves athletics teams was successful and included numerous highlights: 

  • The volleyball team was only one game away from the state tournament as they earned runners-up in the District final.
  • The girls cross country team qualified for the state meet and finished 7th overall.  Britt Prince finished 5th and Corinne Mead finished 10th.
  • The girls golf team finished 3rd at the state tournament and was 7 strokes away from a state runner-up title. Julia Karmazin and Emily Karmazin finished 3rd and 4th as individuals.
  • The softball, football and boys tennis teams all did an excellent job in their first year of competitions and represented ENHS very well.

Congratulations and thank you to all of our fall sports and activities teams for representing Elkhorn North with a high caliber of play and, more importantly, high class and sportsmanship.

Aug 21, 2020 | News

In alignment with the previous 33 years, Elkhorn Public Schools (EPS) celebrated its 34th consecutive year of enrollment growth with the start of the 2020-2021 school year, welcoming over 10,000 K-12 students in 19 school buildings.  As part of that growth, EPS proudly opened the doors to two new schools this fall, welcoming over 250 K-5 students at Woodbrook Elementary and over 650 9th-11th grade students at Elkhorn North High School in their inaugural year.

Woodbrook Elementary, led by Principal Pam Wahl, is located in the northwest quadrant of the EPS district, near 186th and Ida.  The school, which is the home of the Bobcats, is the twelfth elementary school for the District.  According to Principal Wahl, “Woodbrook’s staff consists of fabulous, veteran teachers from across the district, dedicated to developing a love of learning and empowering students to reach the highest levels of learning.  We are looking forward to developing strong parent/school relationships as we get to know our students, parents and community members.”

Elkhorn North High School, home of the ENHS Wolves, is led by former Elkhorn High School Principal Dan Radicia and is located near 180th and Maple streets.  Principal Radicia and the ENHS staff are excited about the opportunity to add a third high school to EPS ranks and continuing the tradition of excellence for high school students in the district.

Record growth, outstanding achievement, and strong community partnership are only a few of the hallmarks that make our community a great place to live, learn and grow.  As a new school year begins, EPS looks forward to another year of excellence in all facets of our students’ education.
