SECONDARY SUCCESS PROGRAM

Middle School 7th - 8th

School Overview

The **Secondary Success Program (SSP)**, located in South Omaha, is an alternative education initiative operated by Omaha Public Schools. The program is specifically designed to support students in grades 6–12 who may require a more structured, personalized, or non-traditional learning environment than what is provided in a standard comprehensive middle or high school setting. By offering smaller class sizes and focused academic support, the program aims to help students who have faced behavioral, social, or academic challenges get back on track toward graduation.

Beyond academic instruction, the Secondary Success Program emphasizes behavioral intervention and the development of essential life skills. The curriculum is tailored to address the unique needs of its student population, often incorporating counseling services and restorative practices to foster personal growth. Ultimately, the program serves as a critical bridge for students, providing the resources and supportive culture necessary for them to overcome barriers, improve their school attendance, and successfully transition back to their home schools or prepare for life after secondary education.
