About Our School

Nathan Hale Junior High School was dedicated on May 16, 1965. It was the first Omaha Public School built to be climate controlled for full year utilization. Grades six through nine were originally enrolled at Hale. Spring of 1989 was the last year ninth graders attended Nathan Hale. Hale began a transitional move into middle-level education, and certain philosophical changes soon became evident. Teaming, block scheduling, Advisor/Advisee (C.A.R.E.) and other middle level concepts are currently being used. Even though Hale was planned and built with the latest innovations, dreams have passed from reality to necessity. Computers, special education, technology and the family have undergone vast changes over the last 30 years. Nathan Hale currently enrolls approximately 300 seventh and eighth graders in an four period day beginning at 7:30 a.m. and ending at 3:15 p.m. 

Nathan Hale was a school teacher. In an effort to serve his country, he became a symbol of patriotism and a part of the American Heritage. Our school, Nathan Hale, remains intent upon serving the educational needs of our community in the same attitude and dedication as our namesake. We are confident that Hale will continue to prepare students to meet the challenges of tomorrow and to become responsible citizens and neighbors.
