Preservation Sykeston

May 2005 was Sykeston High School's last Commencement Exercise. With declining enrollments and federal funding decreasing, school administration and a community vote decided to have Sykeston Public School close its doors as an education facility.

Preservation Sykeston, a nonprofit organization, formed in June 2005 because the city and community was in turmoil on how to care for the school buildings. In November 2005, the organization purchased the buildings for $150.00 at a public auction.

Through fundraisers, renting out for activities and storage, and generous donations from alumni and area businesses, Preservation Sykeston has been able to maintain the buildings to the present time. We have been fortunate to have people in the community to help out with upkeep and maintenance, which we deeply appreciate.

The Sykeston Fire Protection District has been working very hard the past 1 1/2 years planning and helping the city and community with a new Fire/City Hall on Main Street. We plan to make this building efficient and multifunctional so that all citizens can use it for various activities. As of April 2008, we are very thankful for the the generous donations we have received so far, and we are getting closer to our goal. We are planning to have a good share of the building done by July 4th so it can be used for the 125th Celebration to welcome all our visitors.

We sent out a letter in February asking for donations. We have had a great response with donations. Any contributions made to this project will sincerely be appreciated. If you did not receive the letter, click here for more information.
