Strategic Plan on a Page

The location, schools, and friendly atmosphere make Platte County School District attractive to families wishing to relocate in or around the Kansas City area. While located within easy commuting distance of downtown Kansas City and its amenities, a small town atmosphere prevails. The District's culture and its strategic plan is guided by the tenets of our foundational elements - our Beliefs, Mission, and Strategic Anchors.

  • Through meaningful experiences
  • Led by extraordinary educators
