About US
The Kingston Pike-Sequoyah Hills Association is a non-profit, volunteer organization that exists in the interest of maintaining and improving the residential qualities of the community. Encouraging neighborly communication, promoting beautification and community pride, cooperating with local and state government and other associations with similar aims and purposes, and maintaining the integrity of zoning and deed restrictions … to name a few of the many facets of the neighborhood association. We also maintain a good relationship with law enforcement agencies to help ensure the security and safety of residents, we research, record, and promote interest in the history of the community, and we work to continue the development and maintenance of public parks in the community.
The Sequoyah Hills Preservation Society was founded in 1997 for the purpose of preserving and improving the common areas of Sequoyah Hills for the enjoyment of its residents and our community. The Sequoyah Hills Preservation Society merged with the Kingston Pike-Sequoyah Hills Association on July 1, 2015. It is now the Beautification and Preservation Committee with the same responsibilities that it had as the Sequoyah Hills Preservation Society.
The KP-SHA Board meets the first Monday of each month. The meetings are open to the public, please contact the president to confirm the location and time if you would like to attend, etc. The board also hosts an annual meeting each spring.
KPSHA’s Mission Statement
Neighborly Communication
We publish a quarterly newsletter which is mailed to all 1850 addresses in the Sequoyah Hills neighborhood regardless of the current membership status of each household. Additionally, we monitor the KPSHA Facebook Page.
Promote Beautification
KPSHA engages the services of a professional landscaper and maintains five intersectional flower beds with seasonal plantings. In addition, we furnish the holiday decorations on the Cherokee Blvd. light posts. We also sponsor the Holiday Christmas Tree Lighting.
Community Pride
We spearhead activities to support the Knoxville Marathon as the runners traverse our neighborhood. We throw a Labor Day Picnic to encourage our membership to get to know one another. And, we spearhead seasonal activities to encourage a community.
Advocate to Government Officials
We work closely with City Council and County Commission elected officials to stay current on pending legislation that directly affects our neighborhood.
