🧡🖤💫 HOMECOMING 2026: Platte County School District's Homecoming festivities run September 28-October 3. This year's theme is "The Magic Lives On," - a Disney theme. Check out the flier for the week's spirit days and activities! 👀
🏈📣 The Powder Puff Game will return to PCHS on Wednesday, September 30, starting at 6pm at Pirate Stadium. We will start the night with performances by the Super Saturday youth cheerleaders, PCHS cheerleaders, and PCHS Dance Teams, followed by the crowning of the underclassmen candidates and the Homecoming King, and messages from PCHS Senior Athletes. Pirate Legacies, our second (or third or fourth) generation Pirates with parents who graduated from PCHS, are invited to gather at 5:45pm in the southside stands for a group photo. The Powder Puff Game is open to the community.
🎉🎶 The Homecoming Parade will begin at 3pm on Friday, October 2, and will run on Fourth Street from Thomas Drive to Rising Star Park. Students will be dismissed three hours early that day. Parents and the community are encouraged to arrive by 2:25pm as Fourth Street between Zed Martin and Thomas Drive will be closed to traffic beginning at 2:30pm. Thomas Drive between Siegrist Elementary and Fourth Street will also be closed. If you'd like to participate in the parade, please contact Kyle Perkins ([email protected]) for an entry form by September 30. If you have a convertible or Jeep and would be willing to drive Homecoming candidates, please contact Robin Herron ([email protected]).
