Around the same time, the school named the South Milwaukee High School Fieldhouse in Jim Sullivan's name.

In 2007, senior student Kyle Olson produced and directed a movie that spoofed the popular James Bond movies, in celebration of the graduating class of 2007 (or 007). The movie was titled "SMHS: 007" and featured an original cast of South Milwaukee High School seniors and teachers. The SMHS A/V Club, along with Olson, created a website for the movie - www.smhs007movie.com . The film premiered on May 4, 2007 in front of a sold out crowd at the South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center (one of the few events held in the PAC to sell out). Later, the movie went on to be recognized by numerous film festivals, where it captured some fantastic awards and recongition - which included being highlighted on a weekend interview on WISN 12 News with Portia Young and DeMarco Morgan.
