Platte County School District celebrated a milestone, with Phase 1 of the High School rebuild opening for the spring semester. A large crowd of students, staff, project partners and community members gathered for the ceremonial opening and tours of the new facility. Students will utilize a new cafeteria/commons space, two levels of classrooms and labs, a state-of-the-art weight room, beautiful fieldhouse, and other exciting features. The 175,000 SF addition took approximately 1.5 years and also included sports field and parking improvements.
