Celebrating excellence extends beyond North High. For over 30 years, outstanding graduates, former faculty members, and devoted friends of North High have been honored as Vikings of Distinction. Their return to North High inspires students to excel in the classroom and beyond, and their many accomplishments bring honor to their alma mater.
Contributions made to the ONHS Foundation will continue to work forever, to support the needs of future generations of Vikings!
North High offers a special curriculum and expanded resources for students choosing to study Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. For the past two decades, the Omaha North High School Foundation has contributed funds and resources to support the students who have chosen these pathways of learning and the teachers who light their way.

The Vikings of Distinction annual event honors deserving Omaha North High alumni who are outstanding examples of excellence, both in their professions and communities.
Each year, the Vikings of Distinction honorees return to North High to participate in the school’s scholarship convocation and address the student body in an all-school assembly where they see videos of their accomplishments and their portraits unveiled. Serving as role models, they also meet in small informal group sessions with students to discuss and answer questions about their respective fields. During the evening, the honorees and their videos are again presented at the Vikings of Distinction banquet, attended by their families, friends, alumni, faculty, and former honorees. Following the banquet, the honorees’ portraits are hung in a permanent place of honor at Omaha North High.

North Stars...“Their Light Shines On”
In 2017, the Vikings of Distinction Committee announced the creation of a new designation: The North Star. Deceased former Vikings who have distinguished themselves and brought honor and recognition to Omaha North High Magnet School are honored for their outstanding accomplishments. Holding these former North students in high regard, the Vikings of Distinction Committee determined that these Vikings’ accomplishments should be shared with students, faculty, and alumni. “Their Light Shines On" in the halls of Omaha North High on a plaque displayed in their honor in the Vikings of Distinction showcase.
