Overview
St. John's Military School Historical Museum Inc. is a nonprofit organization established in March 2019 to preserve the history of St. John's Military School (SJMS), which operated for 131 years until its closure in May 2019. The museum aims to collect, preserve, and display the artifacts and history of SJMS, connecting alumni, faculty, and the local community through various events and educational opportunities.
History
The formation of St. John's Military School Historical Museum Inc. was a response to the closure announcement of St. John's Military School. Following an emergency meeting by the Old Boys Association, the decision was made to incorporate a nonprofit entity to safeguard the school's legacy. The museum's establishment involved legal incorporation in the state of Kansas and obtaining tax-exempt status as a 501(c)(3) organization.
Mission and Activities
The museum's mission is to showcase SJMS's history, emphasizing its contributions to education and society. It organizes reunions, communications, museum activities, and educational opportunities to maintain connections among alumni and the community. The museum is housed in Linger Hall, with a lease agreement ensuring its long-term presence on campus.
Grand Opening and Continued Operations
Despite challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum held its grand opening on May 14-15, 2021. It has continued to host events, including reunions like the 2024 SJMS Reunion, which drew alumni and supporters from various backgrounds.
Financial Status and Governance
As a nonprofit organization, St. John's Military School Historical Museum Inc. relies on donations to support its operations and activities. The museum operates under the governance of a board of directors, who oversee its strategic direction and fundraising efforts.
Legacy and Impact
Through its efforts, the museum ensures that the history and cultural significance of St. John's Military School are preserved for future generations, offering a unique educational resource for the community and a nostalgic venue for alumni to reconnect with their past.
