The Logan Elm Local School District is located about 30 miles south of Columbus, in parts of Pickaway and Hocking Counties, covering 198 square miles. The district formed in the late 1950's, with the consolidation of schools in Washington, Pickaway and Salt Creek Township in Pickaway County.  In the early 1970's, the village of Laurelville along with Perry, Laurel and Salt Creek townships in Hocking County joined the district.   

 

The namesake of the district was a large elm tree, located within the school district on the Pickaway Plains.  The tree was said to be the place where Chief Logan of the Cayuga tribe delivered an eloquent speech on relations between American Indians and early Ohio settlers in 1774.    While the tree succumbed to disease, weather and age in 1964; a park still exisits at the location (Logan Elm Memorial Park).

 

Logan Elm is part of the Pickaway-Ross Joint Vocational District and some students in grades 11-12 attend Pickaway Ross Career and Technical Center.
