Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart,[1] located at 3601 Burt Street in the Midtown area of Omaha, Nebraska, United States, is a Catholic, college-preparatory high school for girls run by the Religious of the Sacred Heart. The institution previously included a college which was operated from 1908 to 1968. Today Duchesne is home to the high school and a co-ed preschool. While it is located within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha, it is an independent institution.

Rooted in Sacred Heart values, Duchesne Academy educates young women to be active participants in their own development. In 2020, Duchesne received the US Department of Education Green Ribbon[2] for their efforts in sustainability and a Blue Ribbon Award for Academic Excellence.
