Papillion-La Vista Public Schools
The Papillion-La Vista School District is headquartered in Papillion, Nebraska. The school district covers all of Papillion, La Vista, and a small portion of Bellevue. The district was originally established as the Papillion School District but with the rapid growth of La Vista (incorporated in 1960) the city was officially added to the school districts name in 1987 by former Superintendent Roger Miller.
The school district serves nearly 10,500 students. The District has two high schools (Papillion-La Vista South High School, and Papillion La Vista Senior High School). It is also home to two junior high schools (Papillion Junior High and La Vista Junior High). 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 High School.
