TPS Foundation Brings Community Together

Posted on 09/26/2023

The Topeka Public Schools Foundation (TPSF) 14th Annual Community Breakfast and Superintendent's State of the District Address was held at Manor Conference Center.

This year's event brought together many public officials and community partners to celebrate the 2023 Patron Award recipients, BT&Co., for their decades of service to public education.

Additionally, it was announced by TPSF Executive Director, Pamela Johnson-Betts, that Highland Park High School would be the recipient of a $5 million donation from alumni Susan Guffey, the largest donation in the history of Topeka Public Schools. Learn more in this article from WIBW.

We send a special thank you to Ms. Guffey and her family, and the many community partners who continue to support Topeka Public Schools students. View photos from this event on Flickr and video highlights on YouTube.
