Every student. Every day. Prepared for success.
It is the mission of Minne Lusa Elementary School, in partnership with families and community, to provide rigorous educational opportunities in a safe and secure environment.
We are so excited to welcome our new and returning students to Minne Lusa Elementary for the 2019-2020 school year!
As the new principal for Minne Lusa, I am proud to say I am coming home! I attended Minne Lusa as a student and began my teaching career in the Omaha Public Schools right at Minne Lusa. Returning to the home of the Panthers is the highlight of my career and I can't wait to meet all of you!
