Logan High Graduation Requirements Increased
The Logan City Board of Education raised graduation credits from 17.5 to 18.5 by 1981 at the request of supervising principal Joe Murtha. The change tracks a modular schedule and few new teachers are needed. Classes won’t affect vocational students, and some seniors now graduate early. The board also discussed fuel oil boiler conversions, gas curtailments, exams waivers due to weather, and plans to replace retiring Superintendent Fred Good. A special session will review state attendance findings and a committee will examine district insurance policies.
