Benjamin Logan High School celebrated the achievements of the Class of 2026 during the Annual Senior Scholarship Recognition program held Wednesday, May 13, 2026.

During the evening, Benjamin Logan seniors received 81 local scholarship awards from 56 scholarship funds. Thirty individual recipients earned more than $100,000 in local scholarships, totaling $101,600. The total does not include scholarships awarded directly by colleges or universities.

Several students were recognized with multiple local scholarship awards, representing a wide range of accomplishments, service, leadership, and future plans. Among the many students honored, the highest total local scholarship amounts were awarded to Rylan Norviel, Winifred Bodin, Adilynne Gregg, Ella Chamberlain, and Elliot Carpenter.

The Logan County Education Foundation supports education in Logan County public schools by providing teacher grants and student scholarships. The Foundation manages more than 43 scholarship funds, including endowed and annual scholarships.

“This annual recognition is a meaningful reminder of the generosity and commitment of our community,” said a Benjamin Logan school official. “Organizations like the Logan County Education Foundation, along with many local families, businesses, and community partners, help create meaningful opportunities for students as they take their next steps beyond high school.”

Benjamin Logan Local Schools extends sincere appreciation to the donors, families, community organizations, memorial scholarship committees, and local partners whose generosity makes these opportunities possible for students each year.
