May 24, 2024

Pirate Families,

As the school year comes to a close, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and dedication throughout the year. Together, we have navigated challenges, celebrated achievements, and watched our students grow in remarkable ways.

Summer is a time for relaxation, rejuvenation, and family bonding. I hope you all have the opportunity to create wonderful memories, explore new adventures, and enjoy well-deserved rest.

Thank you once again for being such an integral part of our school community. We look forward to welcoming your children back in the fall, refreshed and ready for another year of learning and growth.

Thank you,

- Mr. Kiel Giese

Principal, Platte County High School

Pirates ROCK (Raising Outstanding Character Kids) is a program designed to surround our families with examples of strong character traits through school experiences, at home, and reinforced in their community. Each month our community focuses on a specific character trait and students are recognized for exhibiting these traits: Self Confidence, Pride, Responsibility, Citizenship, Compassion, Individuality, Self Control, Integrity, Perseverance, Respect, Honesty, and Cooperation.

May's #PiratesROCK trait is Respect: being considerate of others, property, rules, & authority.
