Tuesday May 15, 2018 represents a remarkable moment in Papillion La Vista Community Schools’ history. Residents from PLCS voted overwhelmingly in support of a $109.9 million bond. Not only was this the single biggest bond in PLCS history, but the margin of victory was also the largest. This bond will allow the District to address three priorities: enhancing the safety and security of existing buildings, expanding our schools to accommodate our growing student population, and building upon the greatness of our pre-existing facilities and programs.

Construction Begins
Planning, design work and construction started immediately after the voters approved the bond issue.  Knowing safety and serving a growing student population were the priorities, the architects immediately went to work on the planning and design of the new elementary, Anderson Grove Elementary and Papillion La Vista South High School.
