Dr. Wiley returned to Topeka High in 2002 as the Associate Principal and was named THS Principal in 2006.

He has won many teaching awards and takes time to meet with and mentor scientists and physician scientists. the Spanish-American War, Company E, Twentieth Kansas Volunteer Infantry, during the years 1898 -1899.

The most recent project is shown here – restoration of chandeliers in the English Room 306. The THS Class of 1965 and Linda Haughawout Lee (1966) sponsored the project. Degginger Foundry was responsible for the refurbishing. The Topekans whose dream became this beautiful, living monument to education would be proud of the way we work together to maintain the elements so carefully chosen. They also would appreciate the way we have been able to incorporate new technology in the historic design – they used the best materials and technology available in 1930 when construction started. We celebrate our legacy every day as students move through the halls, into the cafeteria and library and other rooms where can be seen more of the THSHS’s successes in helping donors realize their dreams to maintain our historic beauty. The next big project is a rebuilding of the tower stairs so we can once again enjoy the view from the tower windows. How wonderful it would thbe to be able to give tower tours as we celebrate the 150 anniversary of Topeka High School in 2021. That’s just five years away, so mark your calendars. Planning has begun for the sesquicentenni- al, and we welcome volunteers to help put that fete together. You don’t have to be on the board of directors to be involved with THSHS projects. To make sure you don’t miss any news about that party, be sure to renew your membership – we have fiveand 10-year options that make it easy to stay on the mailing list. And thank you for your continued support for Topeka High School. English Room 306, 1931 photograph ~ 2016 TROJAN CLASS REUNIONS ~ THS Homecoming - September 30 - THS vs Shawnee Hts.

Members of the THSHS responded generously to the appeal to contribute to the operations fund and a positive year-end balance. The mailing resulted in contributions of $22,950 from 173 donors, who are listed below. The THSHS ended the year with 2,007 members, a decrease of 57 members from year-end 2014. The Tower Society Fund which accumulates resources for historical preservation projects funded the Paul Fink Memorial Room and Office, preservation and replication of the THS Crest that hung above the main doors to the school since 1931 and repaired the THS Chimes motor. Additions to the Tower Society Fund at year end were $6,967. We were able to accomplish our 2015 goal to clearly identify operations and preservation funds within our organization. We know how important membership support is for our operations which covers our executive secretary’s salary and expenses incurred for our activities such as the Hall of Fame Recognition, hosting the Alumni & Friends luncheons and making historic records available to the many alumni and supporters interested in the school.
