Gomez Heritage Elementary, which opened on August 25, 2004, is a PK through 5^th grade school located in the southeast area of the Omaha Public Schools District. The school was built on a bluff that the community called Goat Mountain. Gomez Heritage was named in honor of Edward “Babe” Gomez, a Korean War hero from this South Omaha community and Heritage to honor the many ethnic groups that settled this neighborhood.

The school offers a Spanish Dual Language program in Kindergarten through 5^th grade and is part of the “International Spanish Academies." There are 38 classrooms, two computer labs, a media center, a Family Room, a multi-purpose room/cafeteria, a gymnasium, and two award-winning Outdoor Classrooms.

Gomez Heritage Elementary is committed to providing the educational resources necessary to promote every student's success. We will strive for high achievement for all students in the areas of academics, in their growth in social relationships, and in their emotional well-being. Our school will become an extension of the neighborhood that will involve motivated students, informed parents and staff members, and an involved community to promote the highest potential in all. We are committed to excellence and dedicated to our students, their families, and our community. 

The Gomez Heritage staff, parents and community are dedicated to providing a safe learning environment where all students are empowered to become knowledgeable and productive citizens.
