James Logan High School is a public high school in the New Haven Unified School District in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, United States. It is the only public high school in Union City. James Logan High School, most often referred to as just "Logan" by citizens, is near the center of Union City, across the street from City Hall and the police station.
James Logan High School is the largest high school in northern California. It has an enrollment of 4000 students serving all of Union City and parts of Hayward (ranging from grades 9-12). Cesar Chavez Middle School and Itliong-Vera Cruz Middle School feed into the school population.
Logan's student body for the 2012-13 school year were 4% Pacific Islander, 44% Asian, 31% Hispanic, 8% African-American, 7% Caucasian and 3% of other races.
The original small campus was established in the fall of 1959, built for 1,200 students. This later expanded to 3,000 in 1980 and 4,000 in 1992 as more students from neighboring cities of Fremont, Newark, Hayward, and San Leandro attended the school. In 1992, a two-block property west of H Street, save for a flower shop, was acquired through eminent domain and was added to the campus (which was dubbed the "Logan annex"). The school in 1959 consisted of one long single-story building which is still used today.
There are around 152 classrooms in use. The campus is divided into three "houses," each administrated by a separate staff and office. A principal and a vice principal oversee each house.
Students at the school speak 27 different languages. Approximately 30% of the students are recent immigrants from over 60 different countries.
A 50,000 square foot center opened on March 31, 2010, and houses a 599-seat music / drama theater and performing arts classrooms. A built-in press box overlooks the football stadium.
The school has a 3,000-seat pavilion gymnasium and dance studio. An original football stadium was built when the school opened. In 1985, an artificial track was put in, the seating capacity was increased to 4,000, and field lights were added. The stadium is now used for graduations, athletic events and other functions, such as Relay For Life. New basketball courts and a tennis complex with lighting opened in 2005 as part of a bond measure. The school is also home to an Olympic-size swimming pool and accompanying locker rooms. In 2014, a bond passed to allow the school to renovate the football field, bleachers and scoreboard.
