Foundation

edit

Due to increasing population in the area, the school district, which formerly had only one high school, had to be split into three separate high schools. The 2008–2009 school year became the inaugural year for Palmview High School, and it was classified as a 6A school. The official Palmview High School campus opened in January 2009 at 2.5 miles (4 km) north La Homa Road in Mission.
