Johnston, Chuck

At PLHS, we are proud of our tradition of excellence in activities and athletics and look forward to building on that in the future.  We are excited about the facilities upgrades that will accompany our other improvements for the 2008-09 and coming school years.  Specifically, we will be installing FieldTurf on the southeast practice field (along with stadium seating), stadium seating on the northeast field (track stadium), outdoor restroom facilities and storage and eventually (2009 school year) seating inside the pool area.  There are several smaller renovations which will contribute to an overall enhanced activities/athletic facility at PLHS.  We are proud of our 32 state championships and 22 runner up finishes.  Our school competes in Class A (highest classification), and we offer a full complement of programs which compete as a member of the Metropolitan (Omaha) Conference and within the Nebraska Schools Activities Association.  Our athletic philosophy is embodied by the slogan "Power of We", meaning that we encourage students to compete in several sports and activities.

Our coaches, sponsors, parents and athletes are working together to maintain a competitive overall program.  "Tradition Never Graduates" is not just a tee shirt design, it is a powerful statement about what we believe at Papillion La Vista High School.
