History

On February 17, 1966 the original Papillion School, built in 1893, was razed to make room for the new junior high school, which was opened in 1967. Nine years later a new junior high was built in neighboring La Vista to help ease crowding at the current school. Before a new high school was open, these two junior highs both enrolled ninth grader students. [ [http://sarpymuseum.org/1960photo.htm "1960s photo gallery"] , Sarpy County Museum. Retrieved 7/20/08.] Currently ninth graders attend both high schools. The school's original boundary was Papio Creek; today it is the city limits.

Athletics

The Papillion Junior High is known well for their sports. They have football, basketball, wrestling, cross country, track, and volleyball. The football team is divided by black, silver, and blue teams, and play on their home field, which is surrounded by a track and is a natural grass surface. The basketball team is divided this way, too, except they are "A", "B", and "C" teams. These three teams share 2 courts. Overall, the Titans have many rivals, including the Fremont Tigers, La Vista Monarchs, Ralston Rams, Westside Warriors, Lewis and Clark Scouts, Mission Braves, and the Wilson Yellow Jackets.
