Mission: At Elkhorn North Ridge Middle School, students will learn to critically navigate the middle school classroom and our complex world in order to build a foundation for high levels of achievement.

Welcome to Elkhorn North Ridge Middle School – Home of the Nighthawks! We are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment where students are our top priority. Our staff understands the importance of the middle-grade years and supports all students in building a foundation for high achievement through building relationships, engaging in supportive and collaborative teams, and utilizing best instructional practices.

The academic programming in Elkhorn Public Schools at the middle level consists of a core curriculum in reading, math, science, history, and language arts. To complement core curriculum, exploratory classes comprised of world languages, physical education, vocal music, instrumental music, art, computer applications, family and consumer science, industrial technology and speech and drama, are also offered. In addition to rigorous coursework, Elkhorn North Ridge Middle School offers activities and athletics where students learn the values of persistence, hard work, and contributing to a team; all characteristics that enhance academic achievement.

We are committed to maintaining high expectations and supporting all students to meet those expectations. We believe in protecting the dignity of all stakeholders and creating an inclusive and respectful culture.
