More than 80 students from Highland Park, Topeka High,
Topeka West, Hope Street Academy and Capital City Schools attended the first
Educational Equity College Day. The day-
long event was held at the Brown v Board National Historic Site. Students had the opportunity to gather
information and ask questions of representatives from Washburn University, the
University of Kansas and Kansas State University. A parent who successfully navigated the
college application process with her daughter provided information about
college financial aid. While at Brown,
students were able to participate in a game by park rangers where they learned
about the U.S. Supreme Court decision that ended segregation in public schools.
