Westview YMCA
WESTVIEW YMCA: 15800 Summit Plaza, Suite A, Bennington, NE 68007
Grand Opening: Monday, July 18, 2022
Through our partnership with Omaha Public Schools, we were able to open Nebraska’s first YMCA connected to a high school. The Westview YMCA is a traditional, full-service facility serving all ages and has similar programming that is found at other locations like swimming lesson, youth sports and group exercise. Westview High School students have access to the facility through membership as well as employment opportunities.
“The Westview YMCA is close to home and convenient. It’s nice to be able to take my children to the pool and gym to play basketball during the colder months. I like how there are so many extracurricular activity options for my children and I enjoy having childcare there as well. Plus, I love the teamwork environment and how there is just a fun atmosphere.”

As Omaha Public Schools looked to the future, it was evident that growth in the metro area would bring need for a new high school in northwest Omaha. Building a new educational center in this rapidly growing community will serve the community, providing educational access closer to home for more than 1,500 students—600 of which live in poverty.
OPS consists of sixty-three elementary schools, twelve middle schools, seven high schools, one virtual school and 13 alternative programs and serves people from all walks of life.
