Thousands of students returned to James Logan this week, some cheering their return to school, and some lamenting the end of their summer vacations.

As of Friday morning, 3,920 students were enrolled in the high school, one of the largest in the state.

Some were happy to get back to their school work.

Junior Raven Jones' first days back on campus were "awesome...it went well."

"It was cool to come back to school...having something to do," said Toni Polé, a junior.



Sophomore Brandon Martinez, "I felt I had bragging rights because I'm a sophomore now."

Erin Penney, a senior, said, "I feel great because it's our last first day of school. And, we're going to run this campus this year. Go Seniors."

"I expected junior year to be tough, but when I went to my classes, it was pretty easy. It just felt good when I saw people again, and how they've grown," said Nico Bremond.

"So far, school is running smoothly," said Yuk Sum, a senior, "but I don't like my schedule. However, this school year should be the best year of my high school life. I'm a senior, I'm graduating. I'm excited."

Several students echoed Sum's complaint about his schedule.

Senior Jessika Robinson said "I have a lot of wrong classes, that I never even signed up for. I think it's messed up that I can't talk to my counselor to get my schedule changed."

"I was mad because my schedule got messed up. Other than that my day was fine and very crowded," said Ali Razawi, a senior.

Leeann Patnude, a senior, had a different experience. "Horrible, my first day of school at JLHS. It was horrible."

Senior Jasmine Curtis said "My first day of schoolwas boring. All my teachers did was talk. They cancelled my guitar class, and I'm pretty pissed."

"It was very crowded," said Karla Peinilla, a sophomore.

Junior Christian Foster said "it was way more crowded" than last year. "It's too hard getting through the front gate because of so many people."

Others complained about the weather.

"My first day of school was hot, like sweaty hot." said Rachel Reyes.

And here I am, with a class in my schedule that doesn't even have 30 people...

The busses have an overcrowding problem too.

Logan messes up the schedules every year. They always try to improve upon their mess ups , but they fail every year. But of course, with a school so large, it's impossible to be perfect. Logan has also been through many changes for the past four years. With construction, new time schedules, new counselors, new house offices, etc., there's never enough time for things to transition and settle. Especially now with the budget cuts, we have larger classes and new administration. It's just going to be that much harder to improve the school.

Words of advice to the Class of 2009: Enjoy your last year of high school as much as you can, even through the craziness that Logan is going through. It goes by super fast.

retarded. senior year was supposed to be the best, but so far it sucks. i worked hard for 3 years so i could take good classes this year, but now the classes i want have either been cut or are at the same time. my schedule needs fixing, but the counselors couldn't care less because at least i have 7 different periods (its sad that thats all that matters, the classes themselves don't) having to sit on the floor in class is ridiculous, if they cant get more classes they could at least get more chairs. and i need a locker! is that too much to ask? jeeez. whatever this will still be the best year ever. after the first month at least, im hoping.
