At Topeka High, there is a great sense of involvement in the building. You'll know you'll be able to find a place where you belong and feel welcomed by the students and staff. I love how welcoming the community environment is. It is a place where diversity is profound throughout the school, but sometimes, I do wish more was done to open up spaces for everyone in the school.

The first time I visited the campus I absolutely loved it. The architecture of the building itself is beautiful. Now coming up on the end of my senior year I can say with pride that I am a Topeka High Trojan because the school spirit is unmatched. The people such as the administration are super helpful and just amazing. Though there could be some improvements made I think in general it's an amazing school.

My experience at Topeka High was fairly good, interesting to say the least as COVID hit my freshman year. But I did enjoy my schooling there none the less.
