Omaha’s High School for Tinkerers and Tailors

In this episode, we explore Omaha Technical High School, once the largest school in the world under one roof. We’ll dive into the school’s unique “tinkerer” philosophy, which provided a vital vocational pathway for working class students, and celebrate the trailblazing graduates like Tuskegee Airman Alfonza Davis and basketball legend Bob Boozer. Adam will also share reasons why it closed.
