40th Anniversary Weekend Recap (September 16-17, 2022)
Nearly 500 members of the school community joined in the celebration of Topeka Collegiate’s 40th year during the weekend of September 16-17, 2022. The weekend included an alumni reception, a teacher/founder brunch, and a schoolwide carnival on the playground.
The celebration culminated with a sold-out Decades Dinner in Assembly Hall. Over 200 individuals attended the dinner, featuring alumni from each decade since the school's founding in 1982. From the 1980's to the 2000's, guests were entertained and inspired by the academic excellence, public speaking eloquence, and ambitious career paths of the following alumni: Matt Garlinghouse (‘90), Maria Maldonado (‘99), Nyalia Lui (‘08), and Laura Nicolae (‘12).
The evening ended with a champagne toast and the announcement of the Sustain Campaign!
