History
McMillan opened in 1958, and soon after the students chose the Monarch as the school mascot. Named for Edward E. McMillan (1875–1943), the first principal of North High School, McMillan became Omaha Public Schools' first magnet junior high school in the 1980s. Originally a school for seventh, eighth and ninth grade students, in 1989 ninth graders were permanently moved to high schools throughout the city.
