Papillion La Vista South High School

What Papillion La Vista South High School does

Papillion La Vista South High School (PLSHS) is a public high school serving students in grades 9-12 as part of the Papillion La Vista Community Schools district in Papillion, Nebraska. Opened in fall 2003 as the second high school in the district to address overcrowding at Papillion-La Vista High School, PLSHS is located at 10799 Highway 370 and operates as a government state entity. The school serves a captive, district-assigned student population, including a meaningful cohort of military-connected families stationed at nearby Offutt Air Force Base, and holds a Purple Star School designation from the Nebraska Department of Education.

The academic portfolio centers on 18 Advanced Placement courses affiliated with the College Board, with dual enrollment pathways through the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) and Nebraska Wesleyan University. Student progress is measured through NWEA MAP computerized adaptive assessments administered in grades K-9, generating RIT scores and Lexile ranges. College and career planning is delivered through the Maia Learning platform, covering college research, scholarship discovery, resume creation, and letter of recommendation requests. The ACT Prep Course, reported as boosting scores in at least one area for 95% of participating students during 2023-24, is a fee-based offering at $40 per session. Beyond academics, the school operates a comprehensive athletics program across three seasons plus unified sports, over 50 student activities and clubs, and a tiered Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework. Student support infrastructure includes a five-person counseling department, social work services, two school psychologists, and anonymous reporting tools (Safe2Help Nebraska and Sarpy County TIPS).

PLSHS operates on a tax-funded public school revenue model with no tuition; auxiliary fee streams include a $70 activity ticket per season for athletics and activities participation, USDA-compliant meal pricing ($1.70-$3.60 per meal by grade tier) processed through the LINQ Connect platform, and ACT prep fees with reductions for free/reduced-lunch-qualifying students. Technology integrations span Peachjar for electronic flyer distribution, Hudl and YouTube (PLV Media) for athletics streaming, GoFan for ticketing, and BOUND for scheduling (effective June 2026). The school's website is built on Finalsite CMS. Marketing is conducted through the school website, social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X), email bulletins, and the Peachjar electronic backpack. Facility investment is ongoing, with 2023 Bond project upgrades including auditorium renovation, baseball/softball complex improvements, and a flex classroom addition.
