The 2009 - 2010 school year presents exciting challenges for students, staff and parents. This year’s theme Excellence in Action is more than a slogan, but a way of life at Platt. As a Connecticut recognized Vanguard and ConnCan School expectations are high for all of us. That means teachers, administrators and support staff stand ready to deliver on the promise made to everyone attending Platt…we will provide nothing less than the finest technical/academic education possible for all students.
 
Our school goal is for each of you to achieve honors level grades every marking period, while working through a rigorous course of instruction specifically designed to assure future success. Last year 66% of the student body did exactly that. Platt graduates will be quick to tell you that quality high school preparation made them ready to enter the workforce as skilled trade people or successful college students. That doesn’t mean individual accomplishment comes easy; achievement is a function of how hard you work…and at Platt Tech we work hard! A life lesson to hold close is that nothing less than your very best is ever good enough. That is what I expect from you at all times. The real world demands a great deal and there is precious little time to get ready before it’s your turn to stand and deliver.

Platt Tech is a special place where tradition, innovation and dedication come together in a school known for the talent and heart of students. Whether stocking the food bank, giving to the blood bank, putting toys under the Christmas tree, feeding the homeless or making certain senior citizens hair is done just right our school culture reflects pride in what we do.

Finally, remember that we are here for you…and that includes me first and foremost. You will see or hear me almost every day, so don’t be shy to come to me with concerns. As with all your teachers, we will always give you good advice simply because you are the reason we come to work each day!

Have a great school year!
