Palmview High School is a Texas UIL Division 6A high school in the La Joya Independent School District named after the city of Palmview. The school is home to students that live on the east side of La Joya ISD.
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 5A school. The official Palmview High School campus opened in January 2009 at 2.5 miles (4 km) north La Homa Road in Mission.
The Palmview Lobos share their field with La Joya Coyotes and Juarez-Lincoln Huskies at La Joya Stadium, a 12,500-seating capacity stadium which opened in 2000. The lobos made it to playoffs in 2014 for the first time and also became bi-district champs.
The lady Lobos are Coached by Anisa Reyna and assisted by Victor Aguilar. The lady Lobos made the playoffs for the first time in school history in 2015.
The Palmview Lobo Band marches to the motto "The Pride of the Pack" under the direction of Mr. Jacob Banda, the founding and current Director of Bands. The band has earned consecutive Sweepstakes Awards since its start as a new band program. The Lobo Band won the USSBA Group IV A State Championship in 2008. The Lobo Band made history in 2014 by advancing to the 6A Area G Marching Contest Finals for the first time in school history. In addition, the band has earned many "firsts" awards in the district: the first 4-year All state band student in the district; 2 US Army All American Marching Band Members, Winterguard State Championship.
The PHS Lobo Choir is under the direction of Mrs. Esperanza Aldava-Medina
For the first time ever, Mariachi "Lobos", Grupo Folklorico "Ozomatili" and Conjunto "La Tradicion" performed together to showcase the Hispanic traditions of not only the student population, but of the community as well.
