History

Logan high school has had several additions and modifications to the school building since it was built in the 1960s.
*In 1978, a physical education complex was added.

*In 1984 the freshman class was added to the student body. With the increasing amount of students, the Woodruff Elementary school was closed and converted to the English department and writing lab and a new Woodruff Elementary was constructed at 650 S 1000 W in Logan.

*In 1993 a large addition was built, which included a media center, larger cafeteria, and new classrooms as well as remodeling along the south and west sides of the building.

*During the summer of 1999 the old boy's gym was razed and a new gymnasium, lobby, and storage area was built in its place, opening during the 2000-2001 school year.

*During the 2003-2004 school year several athletic fields were renovated or built, including a new football field, softball diamond, and sand volleyball courts.

*A new baseball field was constructed during the 2006-2007 school year.

Art programs

The school offers several co-curricular activities in the arts including orchestra, band, and choir programs. In addition, LHS offers a drama club and accompanying theater arts classes.

Orchestra

The LHS Orchestra includes three string orchestras with a total of about 150 students. The orchestra is divided mostly by grade level and not by skill; the Concert Orchestra is made up of freshman, the Sinfonia consists of sophomores, and the Philharmonic Orchestra consists of juniors and seniors. However, the Chamber Orchestra is audition-based, and consists primarily of juniors and seniors and is relatively new. In 2008 the Concert and Philharmonic orchestras qualified for Utah state-level competition. The Logan High School Philharmonic and Chamber orchestras are going on tour to San Francisco this spring.

Band

LHS has two bands, the lower or symphonic band and the upper or wind band, as well as an extra jazz band class. Unlike the orchestra the bands are not split up by grade but by skill. The Wind Band and Jazz Band go on national trips every other year, visiting cities such as Boston, Chicago, New York, San Diego, and Washington D.C. They also regularly participate in state and regional festivals and competitions.

Extra-curricular activities

Logan High School offers 26 student clubs and 17 varsity athletic teams. Notable student organizations include the debate team, which won the Utah class 3A state title during the 2007-2008 school year, and the football team, which has won state titles in 1978, 1988, 1989, 2000, 2005, and 2007.
