Partnership At Las Vegas
![]() What is PAL?
The PAL Program (Partnership At Las Vegas), which began in 1996, is a smaller learning community within Las Vegas High School. The goal of the PAL Program is to take an active role in bridging the gap between the classroom and skills students really need for the real world. In other words, the PAL Program is interested in teaching skills that students will really use as a student, employee, and citizen.
Some of the PAL graduates are now college graduates, realtors, campaign coordinators, business owners, teachers, office managers, and many more.
