Papillion-La Vista Public Schools

The Papillion-La Vista School District is headquartered in Papillion, Nebraska, United States. The district covers most of Papillion, almost all of La Vista, and small portions of Bellevue, Chalco, and Offutt AFB.^[1] The district was originally established as the Papillion School District, but with the rapid growth of La Vista (incorporated in 1960), the name of the city was officially added to the school district's name in 1987 by former Superintendent Roger Miller. The school district serves over 12,000 students.

Middle and High Schools

The district has two high schools (Papillion-La Vista South High School and Papillion La Vista Senior High School) although a third is planned for the future.^[2] It is also home to three junior high schools (Papillion Junior High, La Vista Junior High, and Liberty Middle School). Most students from Papillion Junior High graduate to Papillion-La Vista South High School, while students from La Vista Junior High move on to attend Papillion-La Vista Senior High School. Liberty Middle School was opened in 2016 ^[3] as a means to ease the over-enrolling of students in the other two middle schools and has a mixture of students who would have gone to either of the two middle schools.
