The old military trail out of Omaha to the West wound along the hilltops for protection from ambush. The ridge which the trail followed offered a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside as well as a relative amount of safety from surprise attack. On May 3, 1970, a new school placed on that same ridge overlooking a changed but still beautiful view of the countryside was dedicated. It was named for a past principal of Central High School, Mr. Joseph G. Masters. J.G. Masters was born in Kansas on February 20, 1873, and died May 19, 1954, in Pennsylvania. He was principal at Central for 24 years, beginning in 1915. He founded the National Honor Society, and was the author of three books on Western Americana. He gathered his historical material first hand.

When J.G. Masters Elementary opened on Monday, January 26, 1970, it relieved some of the pressure of crowded classrooms in other Northwest Omaha elementary schools. The relief was brief however. Masters had a capacity of 560 children and was expected to exceed that number within a year.

The staff at Masters Elementary is dedicated, creative, and enthusiastic. They hold high expectations for students and strive to improve student achievement.

We value the support and input of our parents and community and encourage a cooperative partnership with the school. We will create a community of learners with combined efforts of students, staff, parents, and the community.
