Welcome to the website of
Underwood Hills Focus School
On Friday, August 20th the Underwood Hills Focus School Parents Pride Group hosted a get together at Rockbrook Pool. With families at the school coming from across the Omaha metro area, these events help our families better connect and get to know each other.
Our school would like to send out a big thank you to 4th grader Nick whose family donated an enormous watermelon for our enrichment snack time.
A new feature this year is our "Tips for Success." Each week students learn a new tip, tool, or strategy to focus on in becoming a better leader. Be sure to check out our Morning News where these tips are featured.

The Focus School at Underwood Hills is centrally located at 9030 Western Avenue and will focus on Leadership through Technology and Communication. The purpose of the school is to immerse students in a diverse environment while exposing them to cutting-edge technology and curriculum offerings in a small school setting. To this end, students study regular academic subjects while receiving specialized instruction in the focus areas of leadership, technology, and communication.
The students who attend Underwood Hills Focus School benefit from an expanded school calendar and also have the opportunity for an extended school day. The official school day begins at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 3:00 p.m. All students are invited to stay until 5:00 p.m. to participate in structured activities that support the core curriculum, reinforce basic skills, provide enrichment opportunities and enhance knowledge in the focus areas (leadership, technology and communication). This additional time for instruction focuses on meeting student needs to ensure mastery of content standards.
