  • The STARKVILLE SPARK Is GROWING!
    TheSTARKVILLE SPARK is GROWING! As we welcome the opportunities of the STARKVILLE OKTIBBEHA SCHOOL DISTRICT The spark. We are on the verge of something amazing for our community and for our children as our two school districts merge to form the Starkville Oktibbeha Consolidated School District in July 2015. WHY CONSOLIDATION? Senate Bill 2818 passed by the Mississippi Legislature in April 2014 created the Starkville Oktibbeha Consolidated School District and outlined the plan for its required establishment beginning July 1, 2015. We embrace this mandate as the spark for expanding educational opportunities for all children living in Oktibbeha County to new levels of excellence. WHAT IS THE COMMISSION? House Bill 716, the original legislation that consolidated the two districts approved in April 2013, also established the Commission on Starkville Consolidated School District Structure, an advisory group comprised of representatives from Starkville School District, Oktibbeha County School District, Mississippi State University and the Mississippi Department of Education. The Commission, the first of its kind in the state, was charged with making recommendations to the legislature to “improve the quality of education and the efficiency at which it is delivered.” For seven months between July 2013 and January 2014, the Commission held public hearings and numerous public meetings to explore many scenarios for how the new district should be structured. In its report to the Mississippi Legislature, the Commission presented a unique plan for consolidation. LEADERSHIP IN THE NEW DISTRICT Through Senate Bill 2818, the current superintendent of the Starkville School District (Dr. Lewis Holloway) will become the superintendent of the consolidated district.

  • Stark Annex Collections Information
    STARKVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY Beginnings of Stark Annex BEGINNINGS OF THE ANNEX Because Betsy Stark had a desire to give something of lasting value to the community which means so much to her and her family---and because her father was the first librarian at MSU, and her mother enjoyed genealogical research, we now have the Christopher Randolph Stark and Annie Reynolds Stark Annex. This 2600 sq. ft area composed of three rooms, including an archives vault, was dedicated and opened for public use in June of 2004. MISSION The mission of the “Stark Annex”, so called for convenience sake, is two-fold. One mission is to acquire, organize and preserve local and family history. The second mission is to assist patrons, within and without Oktibbeha County with their personal research. Mailing address: Stark Annex Starkville Public Library 326 University Drive Starkville, MS 39759 Phone: 662-323-2766 For email genealogy or local history queries, send email to: [email protected] STARK ANNEX: STARKVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY Major Collections FAMILY COLLECTIONS . 1. STARK COLLECTION The entire genealogy wing of the library was given by Miss Betsy Stark. When it was dedicated in 2004, it was named in honor of Christopher Randolph Stark and Annie Reynolds Stark, Betsy Stark’s parents. The library only has received a small part of the Stark collection, but it will be the largest collection at some time in the future. 1.

    TheSTARKVILLE SPARK is GROWING! As we welcome the opportunities of the STARKVILLE CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL DISTRICT The spark. We are on the verge of something amazing for our community and for our children as our two school districts merge to form the Starkville Consolidated School District in July 2015. Starkville School District will grow to include some 800 new students from Oktibbeha County, sparking a new flame of educational success.
