The stadium will hold about as many people as Northwest and Central High’s stadiums.The new stadium and Butler-Gast YMCA “will enhance athletics and school engagement at North High while creating accessible, affordable health, wellness and development opportunities for North Omaha communities.””When I heard about this project, I was knocked off my feet,” said Gene Haynes, formerly the principal of North High and a teacher and an administrator in the Omaha Public Schools for more than 40 years. “The first game at the new stadium will be a homecoming for all of the current students and, on top of that, for generations of former students.” The project is totally funded by local and private foundations and a North and South Omaha Recovery Grant from the Nebraska Department of Economic Development.The current Butler-Gast YMCA will be relocated to 34th and Ames avenues.”Together, these facilities create an environment for excellence in competition, sportsmanship and teamwork, access to fitness, recreation and wellness programs, and a community space where Viking fans will gather to celebrate victories of years past and future,” said Mayor Jean Stothert. As of Friday, the YMCA is giving membership access to all 12 YMCA locations at no cost to all of the active Butler-Gast members after the facility’s closure and construction.The project timeline includes demolition and construction on both the YMCA and stadium in the fall of 2025, and in the summer of 2027, both will open to the public.

COVINGTON, Va. (VR)— Alleghany High School has been named a Level Up Virginia Champion for the 2024–2025 school year by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia.
Alleghany High School is one of only 28 schools in the state to receive this special recognition. This honor highlights the school’s strong commitment to helping students plan for life after high school.
School officials are quick to credit this achievement to the hard work of Sarai Warrick and Heather Terrell. Warrick organized all four statewide Level Up Virginia events at Alleghany, and she and Terrell both presented at each one. Terrell serves as an academic advisor at Alleghany High School, and Warrick served a two-year assignment at AHS under the Virginia College Advising Corps. The Corps has assigned another advisor to Alleghany High School for the coming school year to continue this important work.
The four Level Up Virginia events, ECMC College Nights in Virginia, Virginia College Application Week, FAF$A Next, and Decision Day VA, help students explore college and career options, apply for college, and complete financial aid forms.
By hosting these events, Alleghany High School has shown strong dedication to creating a college- and career-going culture. Virginia’s goal is to be the best state for education by 2030, with more students earning college degrees and credentials.
Schools like Alleghany High are helping make that goal a reality.
To celebrate, the school will receive a 2025 Level Up Virginia Champion pennant to proudly display as a symbol of this success.
“We are so proud of our students, staff, and families for supporting these efforts,” said Derek Cantrell, principal of Alleghany High School. “Special thanks to Sarai Warrick and Heather Terrell for their leadership and dedication to our students’ futures.”
About Alleghany High School: Alleghany High School serves students in grades 9-12 as part of Alleghany Highlands Public Schools (AHPS). AHPS was established in 2022 through the merger of Alleghany County Public Schools, Covington City Public Schools, and Jackson River Technical Center. Funded by Alleghany County and the City of Covington, the division combines local resources to provide an efficient and high-quality education for approximately 2,700 students.
Stay informed about AHPS news and events by following AHPS on Facebook at AHPublicSchools and on Instagram at ahpublicschools. For more information, visit www.ahps.k12.va.us.
