Magis in Omaha, NE

Home Base for Magis: Omaha

As the birthplace of the Magis Catholic Teacher Corps, Omaha holds a special place in the story of Magis. The Omaha community began with the program’s first cohort and has grown alongside Magis for more than two decades, creating deep roots in Catholic education throughout the Archdiocese of Omaha.

Today, Magis teachers serve in Catholic elementary and secondary schools across the Omaha area, continuing a long tradition of bringing their gifts, energy, and commitment to students and school communities. Over the years, Magis teachers have served in schools throughout the archdiocese, and many alumni have chosen to remain in Catholic education as teachers, principals, and leaders.

Life in Omaha also provides a unique connection to the larger Magis family. With Creighton University nearby and a strong network of Magis alumni throughout the city, teachers are surrounded by a community that extends well beyond their own cohort. They live together in intentional Christian community while navigating teaching, graduate school, faith, friendships, and life in a city filled with everything from the College World Series and Creighton athletics to local restaurants, neighborhoods, and community events.

Perhaps one of the most meaningful parts of the Omaha story is seeing the Magis mission come full circle. Some recent Magis teachers were once students of Magis educators themselves—a powerful reminder that the impact of one teacher can extend far beyond a single classroom or school year.

Omaha may be the home base of Magis, but its story continues to be written by each new generation of educators who chooses to teach, serve, and grow here.
