[edit] History
In August 1979, the new Logan Senior High School was completed near Swanson Field on the north side of La Crosse. The new school was a 3-year high school during the 1979-80 school year. Logan High became a four year high school (grades 9-12) in 1980 with the reorganization of the district and creation of middle schools. Two classroom addition wings for the math, social studies and world language departments have been added due to increased enrollment. A multi-purpose addition was finished in the fall of 1997, which provides music and athletic practice and performance facilities.[6]
