Palo Verde High School, high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Palo Verde High School is a public secondary school on the west side of Las Vegas, Nevada. The campus includes classroom buildings, sports fields, a gymnasium, and a library spread across a flat, open site typical of this part of the city.
The school opened in the 1960s as Las Vegas expanded westward and new residential areas were built to house a growing population. Over the following decades it became one of the more established schools in the Clark County school system.
The name Palo Verde comes from Spanish and means green tree, a nod to the desert shrubs common across the Las Vegas valley. On campus, sports courts and shared outdoor spaces reflect how students gather and spend time between classes.
Anyone wishing to visit the campus should check in at the main office, as access is generally restricted to staff, students, and scheduled guests. The school sits in a residential area on the west side of Las Vegas and is reachable by car or public bus.
The school's football team, the Panthers, has been one of the more decorated programs in Nevada high school sports, with multiple regional championship titles over the years. Several former students have gone on to play professionally, which gives the team a local reputation that extends beyond graduation.
