Newly Renovated Kitchens, Stadium Welcome Students

In March 2018, District patrons voted to approve a $149.615 million bond funding the construction and renovation of several District facilities.  Some of these projects were completed throughout the summer, including the remodel of kitchen space at both Westridge and Skyline elementaries, the District’s two oldest elementaries. 

Additionally, the Elkhorn Public Schools stadium was also renovated to better be able to accommodate the needs of three high schools, which the District will see in August of 2020 with the opening of Elkhorn North High School.
