Best school ever... Always remember your destiny is in your own hands, so if you fail it's because you chose to, not because someone made you! THS is the BEST!

This school failed to let me know about my Daughters truancy until it was too late and when I would call to let them know she was sick they did not excuse it and when I called back to straighten out the problem they finally admitted they had made the mistake. Also they are way7 way too many bad influences at public schools which is why I am looking into private christian type schools for my Daughter

Topeka High is the best school i think i've ever gone to! I have good grades in there unlike middle school! that have a lot of althletic sports to offer us. They have soccer, vollyball, basketball, softball,
football, track. They also offer us clubs as in S.R.O, cheerleading, flagteam, drillteam ect. so now u have a little (just a little) taste of my school Topeka High.

Topeka High School has a tradition of excellent administration and faculty. The students who attended and who attend this school are exposed to the very best in opportunities to enlarge their personal growth and educational opportunities. Look at the alumni from Topeka High School and a most impressive list of high achievers will interest you. The students who are now attending and will graduate from Topeka High School will carry on with accomplishment, gratitude, and binding ties impossible to enumerate.
