Palmview High School is entering another exciting week filled with celebrations, student opportunities, AP testing, fine arts events, and Lobo pride. With only 19 days left of school, we remain focused on finishing strong and continuing to make Palmview High School a place of excellence for every student.
This week, we also celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. Our Lobo educators lead, inspire, and make a difference every single day. Their dedication, heart, grit, and commitment help shape the success of our students and campus community. Thank you to all of our teachers for choosing to educate, support, and encourage our Lobos.
🎉 Teacher Appreciation Week
Palmview High School will celebrate our amazing teachers throughout the week with small tokens of appreciation each day. We are grateful for everything our educators do to help students learn, grow, and succeed.
One Team. One Pack. One Purpose. Together, we are Built Lobo Tough!
⚾ Lobo Baseball: Bi-District Champions!
Congratulations to our Palmview Lobo Baseball Team for winning their Bi-District playoff series against Flour Bluff!
The Lobos showed resilience and championship heart, battling back after an opening-game loss and finishing strong to claim the 2026 Division I Bi-District Championship. Palmview now advances to the Area Round, where they will take on Nikki Rowe.
Favorite Coach Garcia quote:
“We don’t need to be the best team in Texas today, just the better team tonight.”
Way to go, Lobos! ❤️🐺⚾
🪗 Conjunto La Tradición Celebrates State Championship Recognition
