The Sikeston Field House, the 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 Sikeston Field House has become a popular venue for non-athletic events as well.

In 1940, Keith Collins (1916-1974) became Director of Bands and Supervisor of Music for Sikeston High School.

[3] Sikeston High School has had a long history of excellence especially in football, boys' basketball, and baseball, sports in which they are among the state's leaders in playoff appearances.
