Millard North High School is a high school in the Millard Public Schools district. Opened in 1981, Millard North is the second largest school in Nebraska behind Omaha Central High School. Millard North partially opened in 1978 for 9th and 10th grade students. In 1981, the second phase of the project was completed and the school began to serve students in grades 9-12; at that time, the school's name was changed to Millard North High School. The school completed an expansion in 2007.

Athletics

The Millard North Mustangs football team played in the Nebraska high school state championship game for four consecutive years (2002 – 2005) and won state championship in 2003, 2005, and 2010. The 2004 team finished with the third-highest rushing total by a team in one season in high school football history[citation needed], with one 2000-yard rusher and two 1500-yard rushers. In 2006 the Mustangs defeated Lincoln Southwest High School in a five-overtime bout that currently stands as the longest game in Nebraska playoff football history. The Mustangs returned to the state championship game in 2007, losing to Omaha Central 26-21. In 2010, the Mustangs returned once more to the state championship game in 2010, they came back from a 17-0 deficit to beat Millard South high school 28-20.

The Mustangs baseball team played in four out of five Nebraska high school state championship games between 2002 and 2006. The 2005 team posted the best record in Nebraska high school baseball history with 35 wins and no losses on their way to the school's first state baseball championship in 15 years (the 1990 baseball team won the high school's first ever boys state championship) and the first baseball team to go undefeated in Nebraska in 21 years. The leading hitter, and one of six 1st-Team All-State Team members, on that undefeated team was Connor Gillaspie, a third baseman drafted early in the second round of the 2008 MLB draft by the San Francisco Giants.

In 2007, the boys soccer team went undefeated to win the state championship against Lincoln East High School, 4-2, with a record of 22-0, and posting a state record of 17 shutouts. In 2008, the girls soccer team went 18-1 to win the state title against Westside High School, 2-1.

Media depictions

Millard North was the initial choice to be the filming location of Election, but the Millard School Board thought the movie was too obscene to be filmed there.[8] References to "Millard High" can be seen in the original drafts of Alexander Payne's script for Election.[9]
