Palmview high school teachers take the you matter challenge
Foundation
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.
Lobo Football
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.
Lady Lobo Basketball
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.

Alma mater
Palmview's school song, "Alma Mater", uses the music of La Joya High School's original Alma Mater, with some alterations by Robert Flores, an associate band director at PHS. The words to the song were written by Akza Rios, a 2010 Senior of the school, and approved by the La Joya Independent School District School Board of Trustees and the Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Alda T. Benavides. The words were officially unveiled at Palmview High School's 2009 Senior Class Graduation held at the then-called Dodge Arena (now State Farm Arena) in Hidalgo, Texas.
Texas Fight
Palmview's fight song, "Texas Fight", is the University of Texas fight song.
