Join generations of Platte County Pirate alumni for a historic All-School Reunion Weekend tied to Homecoming 2026.
As part of the Platte County High School rebuild project, the original 1963 high school building (the north portion of the current building) will be taken down beginning in January 2027. Reunion Weekend will provide many alumni with a final opportunity to walk the halls where they attended classes, participated in activities, built lifelong friendships, and created memories that have lasted decades.
