History

  • Crestridge was built in 1961. Three hundred and twelve students arrived for Crestridge's first full school year in September of 1962. In 1965, nine classrooms were added and the first Media Center was built. A greenhouse was added to Crestridge in 1980.  In the fall of 1995, brand new Gateway computers replaced the original Apple computers. The lab was expanded to include a multimedia production center with the ability to do video and sound editing. Several years ago we added an outdoor classroom to our space. In 2010, Crestridge was reorganized as a Dual Language School. We continue to serve students from all over the Omaha-metro.
