Logan Elm High School is a public school located near Circleville, Ohio, near the site of the Logan Elm. It serves the Logan Elm School District, which straddles Pickaway and Hocking counties. ==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.〔(The History of Logan Elm ) Accessed 2007 – 3–15.〕 The school's namesake tree was a large elm tree 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.〔 The Logan Elm music Department has also experienced success. Their Advanced Choir performs in class B and, in 2008 and 2009 received a score of I, meaning "Superior." The Women of the Advanced Choir received a I Superior rating in class C in 2009 as well. The choir travels and performs in New York City every other year. The Marching band received all superior ratings at every competition and OMEA State Marching Band Finals in 2006 with their show Cirque Du Soleil: La Nouba. The Concert Band also received a Superior Rating at state finals in 2007. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Logan Elm High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
