• The high school mascot is the bulldog, and the school colors are red and black.
• The Red Pepper Organization which supports school athletics and promotes school spirit was started in 1928 and is one of the oldest high school organizations in the state and west of the Mississippi River. However, it has also been an organization surrounded with controversy in more recent years.

• The Red Pepper Organization carries on 80-year traditions with a week of activities for "Greenies" (girls who are not yet full Red Peppers.) After several activities and requirements, the Greenies receive an official Red Pepper emblem. The day of classes after the actual initiation is notable because of the significantly lightened workload, possibly supplied to counter the massive number of students recovering from a night of excessive alcohol consumption.
• The Field House, Sikeston High School's home gymnasium, was completed in 1969 as a multi-purpose athletic facility with a seating capacity exceeding 3,000 persons. After a bond issue was voted on and passed by the city, the building was updated and remodeled into a more attractive, state of the art sporting arena in 1992. With improved lighting, sound, and climate control, the Field House has become a popular venue for non-athletic events as well. The Field House distinguishes itself with its large silver dome that is easily recognizable from the air.

Military History

• Sikeston's location during The Civil War held some importance due to its railroad and road location. Sikeston was used as a transportation connection as Union Brigadier General Pope sent his artillery across the river to Commerce to be sent by rail to Sikeston for cart transportation to New Madrid in preparation for the Battle of Island Number Ten. On February 28, 1862, Pope left Commerce with his army of 12,000, arriving in Sikeston on March 2, 1862. Colonel William Pitt Kellogg, commanding the 7th Illinois cavalry, was the first to encounter the rebel sabotage of recently burned bridges and other obstructions. The federals were attacked just south of Sikeston by a small group of rebels led by Confederate General M. Jeff Thompson the Swamp Fox, a nickname previously belonging to Revolutionary War Brigadier General Francis Marion. Thompson commanded a detachment of 85 horsemen and 4 to 6 experimental canons that had been manufactured in Memphis. Colonel James Morgan Illinois' troops were reinforced by Brigadier General Schuyler Hamilton's 2nd Division, hence Thompson quickly fled. Entering the area from Bird's Point, Brigadier General Eleazor Arthur Paine, commander of the 4th Division of Army of the Mississippi, repaired the railroad and telegraph lines and used troops from Illinois to form a garrison for Sikeston, Bertrand, and Charleston. War records state that on March 31, 1862, there were 6 Union officers and 143 Union soldiers present in Sikeston.
• During World War I, an infantry company was organized in Sikeston on August 25, 1917 until the spring of 1919. Company K became part of the 140th Infantry, 70th Brigade, U.S. 35th Infantry Division and fought in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive and served as part of the occupation force of Europe.
• Between the two world wars, Company K was reorganized. It helped secure rail centers during the railroad workers' strike of 1922, helped out with the aftermath of the Poplar Bluff tornado of 1927, and worked on the Mississippi River levees during the floods of 1927 and 1937. In 1941, Company K was sent to Camp James T. Robinson, near Little Rock, where they drilled for eight months
• During World War II until 1944, the Sikeston Municipal Airport which was previously dedicated on July 3-4, 1934 was known as Harvey Parks Airport and included long, barrack-style buildings as a site of the Missouri Institute of Aeronautics, which was established after General Hap Arnold asked flight training operations to triple their enrollments. The local National Guard unit Company K was assigned to the Western Defense Command in California. Also during World War II the local International Shoe factory started work on an army shoe order.
• Sikeston is the home to Missouri National Guard unit Company C 1140th Engineer Battalion which took part in Operation Iraqi Freedom from February 2004 until February 2005. The current Adjutant General of the Missouri National Guard King Sidwell is from Sikeston and states that Company C may be restructured from an engineering unit to a military police detachment of the 1221st Transportation Company.
• Veterans' Park near the airport includes a display of a M60 battle tank, an F-4 Phantom II jet fighter, and a 105 mm Howitzer cannon.
