Superintendent Office

Friends,
Last week we celebrated 109 years of Logan High School during homecoming week! I hope you had the opportunity to participate in some of the activities that took place and take part in the sense of community that those events create.

The sense of community is one of my favorite things about homecoming week. I love seeing our entire district community come together, as well as the connections between students that are strengthened during that celebration. The Homecoming Parade visibly celebrates the diversity and unity of the Logan community, and it was especially exciting this year to have other schools in the district participate! Our Grizzly Pride handoff is a newer tradition where kindergarten students and high school seniors meet on the 50 yard line of the football field, passing the torch of LHS school pride to a new generation of students and helping them forge a connection between their experience in kindergarten and their future opportunities at Logan High. And, of course, the homecoming football game brings back alumni as our community comes together to cheer on our student athletes.

This sense of community is one of the primary reasons neighborhood public schools exist. Community schools build that sense of cohesion that contributes to student success and wellbeing. Our schools bring people from diverse backgrounds together and involve them in collectively weaving the social fabric that unites youth, parents, and others in a common purpose: the success and learning of our children.

Thank you for your commitment to our local neighborhood schools. Your support, engagement, and participation are essential to the growth and success of each school community, and I am grateful for the opportunities are have to partner with one another as we do this work.

Sincerely, 

Superintendent Frank Schofield
