Dear Plato Staff and Families,

At Plato Schools, we believe that a strong, connected community is essential to the success of our students and programs. Your engagement and shared experiences help us grow, improve, and continue providing the best education possible.

We encourage you to stay connected, participate in school events and share the positive experiences you and your child(ren) have at Plato. Your stories and feedback not only strengthen our school culture but also contribute to enhancing our programs and resources for all students.

By sharing your positive experiences—whether through word of mouth, online reviews, or community conversations—you help showcase the incredible learning environment we strive to create every day. Your support plays a vital role in shaping the future of our school and ensuring continued opportunities for our students.

Thank you for being a valued part of the Plato community. Together, we can continue building a strong, inspiring, and enriching educational experience for our children.

Plato Academy Clearwater had a very successful No One Eats Alone Day. Our S.A.V.E. club members worked hard to organize and execute this inspirational event that helps students feel included and encourages them to meet someone new at lunch.

Plato Academy Palm Harbor is back at the Mighty Mu Competition after many years! We're incredibly proud of our students who dedicated their time to compete in math challenges and represent their school with such enthusiasm.

We had teams from 4th to 8th grade competing across various divisions, and they truly shined. Some standout performances include our 5th-grade team taking second place overall in the 6th-grade middle school math division. Hannah, also in 5th grade, placed sixth overall in the same division. Gabriel secured second place overall in the middle school mental math competition, and David took second place overall in the Rubik's Cube competition.

We are so proud of our students!

Students at Plato Academy offered a glimpse into the past during the opening ceremony of their annual Olympic Games. Young girls, dressed as ancient Greek priestesses, known as "ieries," performed the annual ceremony of the lighting of the Olympic flame, an event that is taking place in Olympia, Greece before the beginning of the Olympic Games.

Plato Academy St. Petersburg’s Gifted Department is proud to spotlight 8th grader Adan G., a remarkable student whose dedication to academics and extracurricular pursuits sets him apart.

Adan is courteous, kind, and highly intelligent—a true scholar with a passion for learning. His interests span a wide range of subjects, particularly meteorology and current affairs, and he frequently researches and writes essays on his favorite topics purely for enjoyment.

A stellar student, Adan has consistently earned a place on the Principal’s or Honor’s List throughout his time at Plato Academy St. Petersburg. He has excelled in standardized testing, scoring 5’s on the FSA/FAST in all subjects since 5th grade, when he also achieved a perfect 5 in Science.

Beyond academics, Adan is an accomplished athlete, playing for both the hockey and basketball teams. He has also been a dedicated competitor in Odyssey of the Mind since 6th grade, helping his teams secure 2nd and 3rd place in regionals and advancing to the state level, where they placed 5th in 2022-2023.

Adan’s passion for history is equally impressive. In 2023-2024, he earned 1st place in The Great History Challenge, advancing to Nationals in Chicago, where he placed 11th out of 450 participants! This year, he once again secured 1st place in the Regional Great History Challenge and will compete at Nationals in Orlando this May.

We couldn’t be prouder of Adan and his incredible achievements. He exemplifies the values of Plato Academy—academic excellence, perseverance, and a love for learning. We look forward to seeing all he will accomplish in the future!

Thank you to all the families who supported our school at the recent COLOR RUN fundraiser! We're grateful for the incredible turnout and support from our community.

Another big win for Plato Academy Palm Harbor Ball Hockey team last week! The Thunderbolts have taken the top spot for three years running. Congratulations to the team on this amazing achievement!
