Bishop Neumann is a Catholic diocesan co–educational high school located in Wahoo, Nebraska, serving the students of eleven parishes in the surrounding areas of Saunders County. It was first opened on September 1, 1964. The school is named after St. John Neumann, a Redemptorist priest who as bishop of Philadelphia persuaded the American bishops at the First Baltimore Council in 1852 to establish a parochial school system. Bishop Neumann Catholic high school serves students in grades 7-12 in areas surrounding Saunders County. We deliver outstanding faith-first education and experiences that build and guide young minds. Our curriculum combines both college preparatory and general secondary courses, with 100% of students graduating and progressing on to post-secondary education, the military, or religious service.
