Two years and $9 million later, the much needed facelift of an Omaha elementary school was officially completed Sunday with a dedication ceremony.

Parents, teachers and students of Mount View Elementary near North 52nd and Fort streets officially showed off the brand new facility.

The 18,000-square foot school has first-class upgrades in everything from the classrooms with automatic lighting to lockers for students and a new playground. There's also a wing adjacent to the school specifically for the Boys and Girls Club.

Parents are thrilled with the results. "We would ride by and see how much progress they made and when we walked in there that day, they had a grand opening thing, it was amazing,” said Mildred Maclin.

The new school officially opened its doors to students last year, but Sunday’s dedication was held a year later after the final touches were put on the parking lot.
