Thanks, got it added.

I'm assuming that Field Club, Happy Hollow, Shadow Ridge, and OCC will all have shows like usual too. I don't have dates for those yet.

Unless something has changed, they are launched to the East of the original High School. The Football field and stands are opened up as one of the official viewing locations.

This quick search confirms this.

The area East will probably not be an option by next year

The mention of "original high school" made me feel old. Isn't the current Gretna Middle School the old High School?

That is correct. I was only trying to differentiate between the two current ones.

We moved to Gretna, moving back to Nebraska from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 1999. At that time, the older middle school was the high school. What is now the current high school was the middle school in a MUCH SMALLER form, and there was only one Elementary school. Our oldest Daughter started kindergarten in the fall of 99, and the total kindergarten class size was about 75 I believe the Gretna District graduated around 500 last spring

Gretna Elementary School is the old K-12 school (that's why it has a stage in the gym and locker rooms). Now, it's a standard K-5 elementary school. The really old K-12 school used to be across from St. Patrick's, but was demolished.

Where Gretna High School is now used to be Gretna Middle School and where Gretna Middle School is now used to be Gretna High School. They swapped.
