The postseason run continues for the T-High Lady Trojans softball team! ๐ŸฅŽ Help us wish them the best of luck at state semifinals today!๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ช

Yesterday, these ladies defeated the Blue Valley Tigers 5-4 in a State Quarterfinal game in Emporia.

This means they will play two more games, win or lose, in Wichita. The first game is against Gardner Edgerton at 3:00 tomorrow, at the Wichita State Softball Complex.

Letโ€™s send these ladies some love, if you canโ€™t be there.

If you can, we would love to see the stands filled with black and gold!

Seventy-two years after the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision, Topeka students and community members gathered at the historic Monroe School to honor the legacy of those who helped change history. โค๏ธ

Members of the Topeka High School drumline opened the commemoration ceremony, while former Monroe Elementary student Rowena Johnson Sanders was recognized for her role in the pursuit of educational equity during segregation.

We are proud to see our TPS students continuing to honor and carry forward the legacy of Brown v. Board through leadership, learning, and service.

Seventy-two years after the landmark decision to end racial segregation in public schools, Brown v. Board of Educationโ€™s legacy lives on in the Capital City.

Congratulations to our TCALC students Alex Luna, Judea Shannon, and Joanna Li of Highland Park along with Joey Noriega of Topeka HS for earning an impressive 11th place finish at the American Rocketry Challenge nationals near Washington, D.C. ๐Ÿš€

The student-led team qualified for nationals after successfully designing and launching rockets that met the competitionโ€™s difficult flight goals, including safely carrying an egg payload. During the trip, students also had the opportunity to visit NASAโ€™s Goddard Space Flight Center, where Katie Chakola-Thomas helped support and connect students with the experience.

A special thank you to the Highland Park High School Rocketry Club, Mr. Peter Muraski, and Mr. Donald Kuhns for mentoring and supporting these students throughout their unforgettable journey. We are proud of the innovation, dedication, and teamwork they showed while representing TPS on the national stage! Topeka Center for Advanced Learning & Careers
