===Sister City===
Sturgis is a Sister City to [[Wiesloch]], [[Germany]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wiesloch.de/pb/,Lde/Home/Ueber+Wiesloch/Sturgis.html|title=Stadt Wiesloch: Sturgis|website=wiesloch.de|access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref> In 1966, the cities of Wiesloch and Sturgis decided to form a Sister City partnership that grew out of President Eisenhower's [[People to People Student Ambassador Program|People-to-People]] program which was formed to increase cultural awareness and promote friendship.  In 1967 Wiesloch formally began the cultural exchange by sending a community choir to Sturgis.  In 1969 Sturgis reciprocated, sending its community choir to Wiesloch.  In 1977, the exchange program was expanded to include students, who each year spend three weeks in their partner's home.  In 1989 a Sturgis teacher worked in Wiesloch as part of the Sister City program.  This teacher exchange continues periodically as teachers from Wiesloch work in Sturgis and vice versa.

In 2016, Sturgis and Wiesloch celebrated the 50th Anniversary of their Sister City partnership.
