We strive to close the Opportunity Gap by providing CHS graduates with an unrivaled college preparatory education. Because of your support, we are able to support our hard working students & tremendous staff at Omaha's downtown high school.

We are excited to share that Dorrie Mattson Chiarella, CHS 1962 will be matching all donations received for the Central High School Foundation during Give-Education Day, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000! Thanks to this challenge fund, your donation will double and make twice the impact!
