Savannah, Missouri has three schools; Minnie Cline Elementary from Kindergarten to the 5th grade, Savannah Middle School from the 6th to the 8th, then Savannah High School from the 9th to the 12th grades. The schools' sports mascot is the Savage and is depicted with the portrait of an Indian. The school colors are black and gold. Savannah High School has had a succesful Academic Bowl team since the late 1970s coached by the school's history teacher, Bill Luce. The team won a national tournement in the late 1980s.

     Many years ago, the Interurban railroad ran between Savannah, Saint Joseph, and Kansas City, Missouri. However, the construction of Highway 71 led to the railway's demise. The Catholic Church built a home for old nuns in Savannah, it has since been renovated into a nursing home becuase the number of nuns in the region has greaty diminished. Savannah also used to have a cancer hospital.
     On a side note, this article needs a lot of work. If anyone actually knows the history of Savannah, Missouri, they should verify my work and add the specific years, and maybe some more information, like the city's founding date or history.
