Topeka High School Historical Society

Topeka High School Historical Society Our mission is to preserve, promote, and enhance the traditions and heritage of Topeka High School.

The Topeka High School Historical Society (THSHS) was organized in 1985 under the leadership of Ed Love (THS '39) to preserve the architecture, traditions and heritage of Topeka High plus conserve artifacts, papers, photographs, yearbooks and other materials relating to its history. The Society assists alumni with reunions and works closely with the school and student body on tours, events and other projects. It publishes an alumni newsletter three or four times a year along with an occasional special publication. The THSHS also maintains a small Topeka High Museum in its office located on the 2nd floor opposite the Tower or Hall of Fame Room, displaying student life from the 19th century to the present. Our mission is to Preserve, Promote and Enhance the Traditions and Heritage of Topeka High School.
