TPS Earns National Recognition for Excellence in Theatre & Music Education

We are excited to announce that Topeka Public Schools has been nationally recognized as a Premiere Community for Theatre Education by the Educational Theatre Association and as one of the Best Communities for Music Education by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Foundation.

 

This is the second time Topeka West High School has earned the theatre distinction, remaining the only school in Kansas to achieve this from 2022–2025, and the first time the district as a whole has been honored.

 

Additionally, Topeka Public Schools has been recognized for its music education for the seventh consecutive year, more than any other district in Kansas.

 

These awards reflect the district’s dedication to fostering student creativity and excellence in the arts, from theatre productions to outstanding band and choir programs. We thank the students and educators who make these achievements possible, and we are proud to be a state and national leader in fine arts education!
