🌟 Olivia O’Donnell, Special Education Teacher at Shawnee Heights High School, has been named our Secondary Horizon Award winner.
The Horizon Award recognizes outstanding educators early in their teaching careers who are already making a meaningful difference for students. Ms. O'Donnell was selected for the relationships she builds, her dedication to students, her willingness to grow and take on new challenges, and the positive impact she has made in our school community.
Ms. O'Donnell will now represent Shawnee Heights as one of our nominees for the Kansas Horizon Award!
Please help us congratulate this incredible educator! 👏
Our football players have been traveling to our four elementary schools and get a chance to interact with our future T-Birds in our “Reading for Touchdowns” program. The players spend time in a classroom or gym, reading to them, interacting, and/or playing with them. This is a great opportunity for our players to pay forever their kindness to our schools.
Our staff got in on a little fun today with an Underground Spirit Day - socks with sandals.
The Topeka Leadership Academy gained another Thunderbird! Congrats to Julianna Gutierrez on getting an opportunity to learn and lead.
It was Rensday at Shawnee Heights High School! Not to be confused with just a regular Wednesday. Today, all of our students got to celebrate No Hate with the #nohatetour. Then at lunch our students got to participate in Minute to Win It games. It was a great day at SHHS!
Congratulations to the following students that were selected to be a part of the Topeka Leadership Academy - Pavel Rodriguez, Clara Sobba, Noelle Barajas, and Magdelena Snowhawk. Each week, students will take what they’ve learned and put leadership into action—in our hallways, classrooms, teams, activities, and community. 💙 They’ll build relationships, step outside their comfort zones, serve others, and discover how small actions can make a big impact on the culture around them!
