Originally housed in a single brick building at the corner of Halleck and Adams Streets, Papillion's only school served students in all 12 grades.

In 1893 the school moved to a new brick building at 420 S. Washington Street (the present site of the district offices).

The high school moved out of the building to its present site (Papillion-La Vista) in north Papillion in August 1971.

Nine years later, a new junior high was built in neighboring La Vista to help ease crowding at the current school.

Papillion Junior High offers activities such as football, basketball, wrestling, cross country, track, and volleyball.
