Art programs
The school offers several co-curricular activities in the arts including orchestra, band, and choir programs, as well as visual arts, ceramics, and photography programs. In addition, LHS offers a drama program and theater arts classes along with an extracurricular drama club. Logan High puts on a musical (with pit orchestra) and a play each year, as well as a Concerto Night in which audition-selected students each perform an instrumental concerto with the full Philharmonic Orchestra.
Orchestra
The LHS Orchestra program consists of three string orchestras with a total of about 150 students. The orchestras are divided by grade level; the Concert Orchestra is made up of freshmen, the Sinfonia Orchestra consists of sophomores, and the Philharmonic Orchestra consists of juniors and seniors. Logan High orchestras regularly qualify for state-level competition.
Band
LHS has two bands, the lower or symphonic band and the upper or wind band, as well as two extracurricular jazz bands. Unlike the orchestra the bands are not split up by grade but by skill. The Wind Band and Jazz Band go on national trips every other year, visiting cities such as Boston, Chicago, New York, San Diego, and Washington D.C. They also regularly participate in state and regional festivals and competitions.
