The Millard Public Schools is a school district in the southwest part of Omaha, Nebraska. The first school in Millard was established in the fall of 1870. The school district is named for Ezra Millard (1833-1886) who platted Millard, a mostly uninhabited prairie 12 miles southwest of the city. The former city of Millard was annexed by the City of Omaha in 1971 after a lengthy legal battle. Today the Millard School District has diverse programs such as Nebraska’s only K-12 International Baccalaureate program, offered at Millard North High school, Millard North Middle School and Aldrich Elementary.
