The Topeka Center for Advanced Learning and Careers (TCALC) is an innovative high school program created in partnership with business and industry concentrating on four strands: Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing; Bioscience & Biomedical; Business, and Human Services. The Center is all about students solving real problems with real tools used by real professional(s), being mentored by real employers, and leading to real contributions in the professional area.
Students enrolled in the Topeka Center for Advanced Learning and Careers Program fast forward into their future as if they already have a college degree and they are fully immersed in a professional culture. Students use industry-standard tools, which lead to substantial advanced contributions during the formative high school years. Students learn from global and local leaders, such as Westar Energy, Valeo Behavioral Health, Stormont Vail, and Meals on Wheels, who have chosen to partner with the district and share the program’s commitment to educating the future leaders of America. The Center is an example of how business, community, and public education can partner to produce personalized learning experiences that educate the needed workforce of tomorrow, especially in high-skill, high-demand jobs. Early career professional skills like project management, business ethics, time management, teamwork, creativity and instruction, role modeling, and measurement.
The Topeka Center for Advanced Learning and Careers provides students the opportunity to deeply explore professions of high interest through a profession-based, inquiry-based learning method. Local and global business partners participate with highly skilled instructors to provide authentic exposure and skill acquisition in high-demand/high-skill 21st-century professions.
TCALC is driven by the changing workforce needs of the industry; therefore, instructors and TCALC Business Partners co-author all coursework. TCALC curriculum is dynamic, constantly evolving to follow industry trends and market changes using a copyrighted rapid prototyping curriculum development process. TCALC Pathways include:
Transportation may be provided in the morning and afternoon for students enrolled in the TCALC Program, Monday through Friday, from their home high school to TCALC. A bus will pick up and return students from the program and be able to attend the last or first 3 hours at their home high school. Students are required to provide transportation to and from internships, business projects, or observations.
Topeka Public Schools pays tuition at Washburn Institute of Technology (Washburn Tech) for current high school juniors and seniors in the district. Topeka Public School students attend Washburn Tech on a part-time basis, approximately a half-day schedule. Bus transportation is provided. Based on enrollment requirements for the program of interest, seniors may only attend the full second semester. Students who successfully complete a half-day schedule (a.m. or p.m.) of courses at Washburn Tech during a semester earn 2.0 credits at their home high school.
Enrollment is open to qualified students currently enrolled in high school. High school students who wish to enroll in a technical program at Washburn Institute of Technology must follow the following procedures.

Additional Requirements | Two Post Secondary Assets (see below) | *See Qualified Admissions below for more information |
The six state universities in Kansas--Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University, The University of Kansas, and Wichita State University--use the standards below, set by the Kansas Board of Regents, to review applicants for undergraduate admission.
ACCREDITED HIGH SCHOOL
Freshman applicants, under the age of 21, who graduate from an accredited high school, will be guaranteed admission to six state universities by meeting the Qualified Admissions requirements designated by each university, as follows:
ESU, PSU, FHSU, & WSU:
K-State:
KU:
OR Cumulative GPA 2.0+ and ACT 21+ (SAT 1060)*
ALL Institutions Require:
*If you do not meet the qualified admission requirements, you are still encouraged to apply. Your application will be reviewed individually. Contact the university admissions office for more information.
Students must be enrolled in a full schedule each year. Seniors may seek approval for a condensed schedule for the second semester.
Topeka Public Schools’ grade advancement policy is based upon the current requirement that a student earn 24 credits in order to graduate. A credit is earned for each subject carried successfully for a school year or the equivalent. The policy follows:
Classification | Credits Required |
Graduate | 24 or more |
Senior | 17 |
Junior | 12 |
Sophomore | 6 |
Students must earn the following number of credits to be classified per grade:
Sometimes, a second-year student will not have attained sophomore status but is eligible for sophomore-level courses. Hence, courses are designated by year or level rather than class status to avoid confusion about eligibility. Likewise, a third-year student without enough credit to be considered a junior or a fourth-year student without enough credit to be considered a senior may enroll in junior- or senior-level courses, respectively.
In order to be eligible for Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) events, a student must be currently passing five classes and have passed five classes the preceding semester. KSHSAA activities include sports, cheerleading, debate, music, and dance teams.
Students desiring to enroll in college courses and participate in Kansas High School Activity Association sanctioned activities must adhere to the following guidelines and the Dual Credit policy.
Examples:
If a student wants to participate in Division I or Division II sports, start the certification process early, usually by the end of the junior year.
In general, to be certified, a student must:
DIVISION I 16 Core-Course Rule | DIVISION II 16 Core-Course Rule | ||
4 | Years of English | 3 | Years of English |
3 | Years of Mathematics (Algebra I or higher) | 2 | Years of Mathematics (Algebra I or higher) |

The following links are helpful resources from the NCAA:
All classes except dual credit courses that require a final from Washburn University will allow students to opt out of their final.Students must have an A or B final grade and an overall attendance rate of 90%+ for the semester.
Topeka Public Schools promotes an Advanced Placement (AP) program of studies that encourages equitable access for all students, reflecting the diversity of our district. AP students will engage in academically rigorous coursework that challenges their thinking and prepares them for success in a wide variety of postsecondary experiences.
In order to achieve success, AP students will experience the following opportunities:
The AP curriculum prepares students to take the AP examination (for a fee) for college credit. Students whose test scores are considered acceptable on the AP exam usually receive college credit and/or advanced placement in the course for which they tested. It is possible to take an AP exam without having enrolled in an AP course.
Honors and Pre-AP levels of required courses demand additional reading and writing from students, strong critical thinking and analysis skills, and real proficiency in the subject.
For more information on the rewards of AP Courses, see College Board.
The goal of concurrent enrollment is to enhance the transition from high school to college by providing eligible students the option of earning WU academic credit at a reduced tuition rate for the successful completion of a select group of courses. The dual credit courses are limited to juniors and seniors who have at least a 3.0 cumulative high school GPA. Additionally, students enrolling in College Algebra must score 22 on the ACT Math Exam or the equivalent score on the COMPASS Math Test. Courses offered for concurrent credit are depending on teacher credentials, so each school offers different courses. Find current information for your school on Washburn’s CEP website.
These courses are taught at the participating high schools during the regular school day and have the same requirements as those taught on the Washburn University campus. The courses vary by high school. A CEP program orientation and registration session is held at each high school in the fall and spring. Students should contact their School Counselor for specific times, dates, and course information.
*TPS also offers college credit opportunities through Allen County Community College, and most recently in partnership with Wichita State University Tech.
Note: The Kansas Board of Regents Curriculum does not recognize credit/no credit. The NCAA Eligibility Center will compute credit/no credit as a ''D''.
** The deadline for requesting Credit/No Credit is the end of the sixth week of the semester.
Weighted grade point averages will be calculated for the following courses:
Traditional GPA | Weighted GPA | ||
A B C D F | = 4 points = 3 points = 2 points = 1 point = 0 points | A B C D F | = 5 points = 4 points = 3 points = 2 points = 0 points |

Topeka Public Schools reserves the right to request any type of validation necessary to help us determine the appropriate course and grade placement. Examples could be homework, tests, textbooks used, themes, projects, and any other materials showing the home-schooled students' progress. Classes approved for credit within the Topeka Public Schools policy guidelines will be entered on the transcript as a “CR” for credit or “NC” for no credit. Every effort will be made to enroll homeschooled students in an appropriate course of study. Contact counselors for additional guidelines.
The AVID Student: AVID targets students in the academic middle - B, C, and even D students - who have the desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard. These students are capable of completing rigorous curriculum but are falling short of their potential. Typically, they will be the first in their families to attend college, and many are from low-income or minority families. AVID pulls these students out of their other elective courses and puts them on the college track: acceleration instead of remediation.
The AVID Elective: AVID students are expected to enroll in honors and/or Advanced Placement®, as well as AVID Elective. AVID Elective is one period daily where students learn organizational and study skills, work on critical thinking and inquiry, get academic help from peers and college tutors, and participate in enrichment and motivational activities that make college seem attainable.
The EL programs support students in speaking, reading, and writing English in all school subjects.
Services are delivered to qualifying students in one or more of the following ways:
Topeka High School believes in educating our students to be college and/or career ready in a global society. An essential component of achieving this goal is educating students in Global Literacy, including critical thinking in a conscious and deliberate way and problem-solving on a global scale to be responsible global citizens.
Topeka High School has created an International Studies Program that will provide our students with the essential 21st Century Skills of Global Literacy. This program allows students to take coursework that will provide global engagement in such areas as world geography, international studies, international business, ethnic studies, humanities, world literature, and more while developing communicative competence in a Romance language (French, German, or Spanish), in addition to Mandarin Chinese.
Students will engage with this global curriculum by studying the relationship among different cultures' perspectives, practices, and products in meaningful contexts. They will learn skills that will allow them to function in a culturally and globally diverse world, learning to recognize different perspectives by analyzing real-world perspectives and events while acquiring information from various global sources.
To receive the designation with a focus on International Studies, a student must complete a minimum of the following:
*This course is still in development. One component will be a formal presentation to a panel of teachers, administrators, and community members.
To receive the designation with an emphasis in International Studies a student must complete a minimum of the following:
A student could complete the International Studies diploma designation program and still participate all four years in another program such as AVID, MJROTC, Trade and Industry, Band, Music, Art, etc, if they wish.
Elective courses that count toward the International Studies diploma designation are denoted by the symbol in the Program of Studies.
**Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors interested in pursuing this diploma designation must have a transcript review to determine their ability to complete this program prior to graduation.**

Topeka Public Schools’ dual language program has been nationally recognized by winning the Magna award for the only K-12 Dual Language Program in the State of Kansas.
The goals of the dual language program at THS:
All dual language students will enroll in the required coursework. All dual language classes are weighted. Students will take the STAMP Bi-Literacy Exam at the end of the sophomore year. In order to graduate with the Seal of Biliteracy, students must pass the exam by the end of their senior year.
You qualify for the dual language program if you have been in the program during elementary and middle school. If you’d like to join the Topeka High program, you must take a Spanish fluency test to qualify.
The dual language program requires a commitment to complete the requirements throughout grades 9-12. If a student chooses to exit the program, they will return to their home school if they are at THS on a transfer.
Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) is a state-based national non-profit organization dedicated to preventing dropouts among most at-risk young people. In more than three decades of operation, JAG has delivered consistent, compelling results - helping nearly three-quarters of a million young people stay in school through graduation, pursue postsecondary education, and secure quality entry-level jobs leading to career advancement opportunities.

Benefits of JROTC Program
Since its inception in 1916, the JROTC program has been viewed as a strong program that provides youth with much-needed skills in citizenship and leadership. Additionally, numerous studies have shown that students who participate in JROTC programs have better attendance, grades, and graduation rates than those in general academic programs. Principals and school administrators also maintain positive attitudes toward JROTC because of these programs:
