Mount Michael Benedictine School is a Catholic all boys high school just north of Elkhorn in the state of Nebraska, within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha.

History

The school, originally St. John Vianney Seminary, was founded in 1953 by Immaculate Conception Abbey in Missouri as a high school and junior college for men preparing for the priesthood. The seminary was run by monks of Mount Michael Abbey. In the spring of 1970, the monks converted the seminary to a typical high school changing the name to Mount Michael Benedictine School, a Catholic residential high school encompassing grades 9 through 12 with a focus on college-prep curriculum.

Mount Michael began as a five-day boarding school for students in Omaha and surrounding areas. During the 2002-2003 school year, Mount Michael introduced its day program for students who wished to commute to and from school each day, and the seven-day boarding program for international and out-of-state students.

From 1970 through 2015, Mount Michael won 31 state championships in a variety of sports and activities.
