Logansport Community High School is a high school located in Logansport, Indiana, USA. The first recorded commencement took place in June 1871, at the Mesodian Opera House, with three graduates.
High School classes had first been offered in Logansport, in 1863, at the New Seminary, which was a three-story stone building built on the corner of Broadway and Thirteenth Streets in 1848–1849. The first record of a high school commencement occurred on June 1, 1871.
In 1874, the Seminary was torn down with a new school, known as Central or Lincoln School, being built on the same site. This served as the high school until 1894, when the Roosevelt building, at the corner of Broadway and Seventh Streets, was used until 1913.
Lincoln School was razed in 1913, and what is now referred to as the "Old" Logansport High School was built between Thirteenth and Fourteenth Streets and Broadway and Market Streets. This building would serve for the next 60 years, until in 1967, it was decided that a new building would be needed.
The "New" Logansport High School, which opened in 1973, was relocated to the edge of town on an 86 acres (35 ha) site.
The new facility was split into four sections: an athletic wing, a student services wing, and two academic wings with classrooms. The athletic wing includes the new "Berry Bowl", the schools basketball court, with seating for 5,830, a six-lane swimming pool with seating for 400, standard locker room facilities and wrestling room. School offices, the cafeteria, and the library are all located in the student services section, which is centrally located in the middle of the facility. The academic wings have classrooms grouped into areas of study.
McHale Auditorium was dedicated November 7, 1976. The auditorium was built with a $1,000,000 donation from Frank McHale, along with a $2,000,000 endowment for continued upkeep.
An observatory was added in 1996, just south of the main building. Major renovation to the school occurred in 2002, with upgrades to classrooms, the construction of new science and special needs wings, new office facilities, and the New Century Career Center, which replaced EL-Tip-Wa Vocational School, that had been located in an old Pepsi Bottling Company warehouse at Sixth and Miami Streets.
LHS is a part of the Logansport Community School Corporation and is accredited by AdvancED and the Indiana State Board of Education.
