This school houses the majority of my childhood memories. I loved every moment and wish I would’ve appreciated it more while I was there.

This school has helped me become a better person and a life long learner. I would not trade my experiences here for the world. Teachers and staff were helpful and supportive throughout my schooling.

I absolutely love my children's school. When we moved to Topeka I purposely chose my house in this schools boundaries because of all the wonderful things I heard about the school. I have never regretted that decision! Mrs. Hunley, our principal is amazing. She is dedicated to our children 150 %! The teachers are wonderful and the staff is the best! It's not just a school, it's a family.

I attended SHES from first grade all the way to sixth and I loved every second of it. The teachers are amazing and very dedicated. The school also has an excellent gifted education class for acedemically advanced students. Teachers of special classes Francis Baxter (music) and Micky Simpson (physical education) also etablish a strong bond with students. Anyone lucky enough to attend this school will agree with me.

SHES's new principal is wonderful. She is kind, caring, and dedicated to the students, teachers and staff, and to the parents of her school. The teachers and staff are amazing and are differentiating their teaching to the needs of their students.
