Mount Michael Benedictine Abbey and High School is a Benedictine monastic community and boys high school in Elkhorn, Nebraska, in the Midwestern United States within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha.

History

The school, originally called 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. In the spring of 1970, the monks established 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 5-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 7-day boarding program for international and out-of-state students.
