Creighton Preparatory School (often referred to simply as "Prep"), is a private, Jesuit college prep school founded in 1878 for young men. Centrally located in Omaha, Nebraska at 7400 Western Avenue, Prep is the largest Catholic high school in the state of Nebraska, USA with an enrollment of 1,038 young men.[3] It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha.

Creighton was founded in Omaha, Nebraska in 1878, later separating into Creighton Prep and Creighton University. The school was named after Edward Creighton, an Omaha businessman whose wife, Mary Lucretia, left their fortune to the Roman Catholic Bishop to build a school for boys. At that time, the school was given to the Society of Jesus, known more commonly as the Jesuits. The initial enrollment was 120 students.

Recently, many new additions have been added to the school as part of the "Keeping the Promise" campaign. In 2009, a new two-story weight room, a new gym, and a new technology center were all added to the campus. The baseball field also underwent major improvements, which were completed just in time for the 2010 baseball season.
