[edit] History
In 1957, the Pickaway, Washington, and Saltcreek school districts combined to form the Logan Elm School District. Logan Elm High School was built to serve the new district in 1960. It was named after the nearby Elm tree under which Chief Logan delivered a famous speech from in 1774. The first graduation to occur at Logan Elm High School was that of the Class of 1961. In 1972 the Laurelville School District of Hocking County joined the Logan Elm School District, creating the present boundaries of the district.[1]
The school's namesake tree was a large American Elm that by 1940 had a height of 104 feet (31.7 meters), despite sustaining damage as a result of rough weather. The trunk had a diameter of seven feet (2.13 meters), and the branches spread out for more than 150 feet (45.72 meters). The tree died in 1964, though by this time it had assumed a place as a local legend. Logan Elm High School has in its possession a section of a limb donated by the class of 1965. In 1976 Robert Ely donated to the school a tomahawk which he had made out the wood of the tree. This gift was presented in exchange from a donation of $672 to the Easter Seals.[1]
