History
The Papillion-La Vista Public Schools District have had origins extending from 130 years ago. It is reported to be the first school district to be established in Nebraska Territory, in 1872. The Territory of Nebraska was a historic Organized territory of the United States from May 30, 1854 until March 1, 1867
La Vista, incorporated in 1960, presented no education system. La Vista is a city in Sarpy County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 11699 at the 2000 census. The students of this new development area had been incorporated into the Papillion School District. With the sudden growth, the existing Papillion High School, south of the current building, were to educate an increasing number of students.
By September 1969, voters in the district had passed a bond issue to build a new high school facility at 84th Street and East Centennial Road. A similar bond issue the preceding year had been defeated. The school opened its doors August 1971. The former Papillion High School had become Papillion Junior High.
The district, and the high school, were renamed in 1987, as La Vista became a larger city. To avoid conflict, possibly resulting in a separate La Vista School district, La Vista was added to the high school's name, as well as the district, making it Papillion La Vista Senior High School.
The 1999 semi-cult film, Election, was shot mainly in Papillion La Vista High School. Year 1999 ( MCMXCIX) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar) Election is a 1999 film adapted from a critically acclaimed 1998 Novel of the same title by Tom Perrotta. The director of the film, Alexander Payne, wanted to use Millard North High School in Omaha, Neb for his fictional school. Constantine Alexander Payne (born February 10 1961 is an American Film director and Screenwriter. However, the School Board of Millard found the script too obscene and inappropriate. It was instead moved to Papillion La Vista High School where a majority of it was shot. Papillion-La Vista High School had actual classes going on during much of the filming of Election. The background noises during much of the film are actual teachers and their students in nearby rooms.
Second High School
In 2003, the Students of Papillion La Vista Senior High School were split with a new high school in southwest Papillion due to already present overcrowding and continued population growth. Papillion-La Vista South High School, PLSHS, was opened in the fall of 2003. Papillion-La Vista South High School (commonly referred to as Papio South, PLSHS, or PLS) is a high school in Papillion Nebraska. PLHS had previously been a 10-12 school, and 9th graders had attended classes at the two junior high schools in the district. After the school district opened a second high school, the freshman class was moved from the junior high schools to the two high schools.
