History
University of Nebraska High School was established by the University of Nebraska in 1929. Initially courses were paper-based, correspondence study. Since that time -- and with the arrival of the Internet -- the high school's curriculum has evolved into an innovative and interactive learning environment.
After several decades as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Independent Study High School, in July 2013 UNHS was brought under the University of Nebraska's system-wide online initiative, University of Nebraska Online Worldwide. With this transition the school's name was changed to University of Nebraska High School.
