Platte County High School - Campus

Campus

The building itself has been expanded several times from its original configuration, with additional wings built over the years, including an auditorium and choir/band room. In the summer of 2005, a new middle school was built, and the district's original middle school, which was attached to the high school via a single narrow hallway, was incorporated into the high school. A new main entrance, library, and atrium were built in what was formerly an open courtyard between the high school and middle school. Also in the summer of 2009, there was a new choir room acoustically built for the choir members.

The high school can be confusing to a first-time visitor due to its complex layout. Numerous expansions have left the school with hallways at odd angles, doors in unexpected places, difficult-to-find classrooms, and a nonlinear classroom numbering system.

The building has three offices: a technology department, an attendance office, and a central office. The campus itself also has two basketball courts, a football field (with Fieldturf, and press box), a theater, two acoustic rooms for choir and band practice, A top notch softball field, a baseball field, and a multi-purpose room mostly used for wrestling. In the fall of 2009 an Annex, the old central office, was added to the campus located to the north of the main high school building.
