Omaha Northwest High Magnet School at 8204 Crown Point Avenue in northwest Omaha, Nebraska, United States, is located on a 61-acre (250,000 m2) campus. Completed in 1971, it is the newest of the seven high schools in the Omaha Public Schools district. Further renovations were completed in 2004, adding several classrooms and improving the choral and band facilities.
Special features within the building include an auditorium center, a 2,200 seat gymnasium with two balcony areas for physical education instruction and interscholastic athletics, and the latest equipment for students in specialized areas such as computer technology, art, business, mathematics, industrial technology and science. However, while the school has swim teams, the building has no pool.
