Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart

Duchesne Academy: Empowered to Question, Equipped to Lead

Duchesne Academy is an all-girls Catholic high school in the heart of Omaha, rooted in Sacred Heart values and a commitment to forming compassionate, confident leaders.

We educate young women to be active participants in their own development—preparing them not just for college, but for a lifelong pursuit of faith, understanding, and wisdom. Our students learn to approach complex issues with discernment and poise, supported by a safe, loving environment that nurtures growth.

When Duchesne students go out into the world, they lead with insight, empathy, and a strong sense of social responsibility.

Our historic, light-filled building—preserved through decades of thoughtful stewardship—is alive with the spirit of joy and community. The grand hallways echo with laughter, and our deliberately small class sizes ensure every student feels seen, supported, and a true sense of belonging.

Located in one of Omaha’s most diverse neighborhoods, Duchesne celebrates tradition while continually evolving to meet the needs of the women of tomorrow. Our mission remains steadfast: to educate well-rounded leaders who are prepared to make a meaningful difference in the world.
