Origin/meaning
Topeka West High School was founded in 1962. The original class selected the head of a rearing stallion to represent the school sports teams, named the Chargers. This name is believed to have been adopted as a direct result of the effect Fort Riley had on the region and its reputation as the US Army Cavalry Center. The head of the stallion appears on a background of white over purple, the school colors. The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on 15 November 2001.
