Superintendent Office

Every month our school district joins the KVNU “For the People” radio show to highlight the achievements of students and teachers in our schools. Just the other week, two members of the cast of the Logan High School production of Prince of Egypt (showing on November 20, 21, and 23) joined me to talk about the production and their experiences as student performers. As I listened to them I reflected on the number of visual and performing arts opportunities students in our school district have available to them, and the unique ways in which the arts help them develop as learners.

Our elementary students have access to regular music instruction by our Music Specialists, and those who are interested can participate in orchestra through our partnership with Mountain West Strings Academy. In the middle school, students can develop their performance skills in orchestra, band, choir, and theater, as well as explore various forms of visual art. These opportunities all expand at Logan High as students add photography, sculpture and videography to their list of possible courses. Students have the opportunity to explore a wide range of artistic forms, or select an area in which they want to specialize and develop their skills to a higher level, all under the coaching of highly skilled educators.

This breadth of opportunities is one way our schools strive to provide the personalized experiences each student needs to thrive, developing the skills and attitudes that will allow them to create a positive future for themselves and their community. If you have questions about how your child can participate in some of these opportunities, I invite you to talk with their teacher or a school counselor so they can help.
Have a fantastic week!
