Student Hospitalized After Fight at Omaha Central High School

One student was hospitalized following a physical altercation in a bathroom at Omaha Central High School Monday afternoon.

The incident, which occurred around 1:30 p.m. on September 16, 2025, involved multiple students in a bathroom at the school. According to the Omaha Police Department, one student required medical attention and was transported to a local hospital. The condition of the hospitalized student has not been disclosed.

School Response and Safety Measures
