## Academics

Under LRHS principal Emmett Sawyer, a learning structure study was conducted for the school between 1988 and 1990. The results of the 3-year study concluded that 22% of students preferred very little structure while 20% preferred substantial structure, among other findings. Various learning-style strategies were implemented based on the analysis, which resulted in increased academic performance with students.
In 2000, a Missouri State University academic study was conducted on top LRHS graduates from 1992 to 1999 on analyzing science achievements and attitudes between males and females on pursuing a career in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The study found that "there were no significant differences between females and males for ACT and GPA scores" but that "most of the females stated they did not like math and science" while "more males in this study pursued a math and science-related career".
LRHS is one of the few schools in Missouri that offers the Missouri Seal of Biliteracy (SoBL), which is awarded to "graduating high school students in districts with a DESE-approved program, who have demonstrated achievement in English, a Language Other Than English (LOTE), and sociocultural competence".
LRHS began CPR training for students during the 2017–2018 academic year, which was required from Missouri Senate Bill No. 711 from the 98th Missouri General Assembly in 2016.
As of spring 2020, the graduation requirements for LRHS require a total of 26 course credits. Specific subject credit requirements are listed below.

## History
### Building and projects

The history of the Logan-Rogersville School District has been documented by the Citizen's Bank of Rogersville:
   There is no city, village or hamlet named 'Logan'. The Logan family donated the land on Farm Road 164, for the Logan Elementary School, built in 1955. In 1965, the K-8 Logan School District in southeast Greene County consolidated with the Rogersville School District in Webster County, and the combined entity became known as the Logan-Rogersville School District.
On January 27, 2005, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for the new 180,000 square foot (17,000 m$^2$) LRHS building. The new LRHS building was funded from a $14.9 million bond issue that passed on April 2, 2002.
The Class of 2010 started the "Preserving the Past for Future LR Generations" senior class photo composite project, which consists of swinging photo panels in the high school commons area. The system contains over 75 years of composites and photos, the oldest being the Class of 1927.
LRHS was awarded a grant for a tornado safe room on December 9, 2013. The grant was part of the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), which was authorized by the Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act and provides 75 percent of the activity costs from the federal government with the remaining 25 percent being provided by non-federal sources.
The following is a summary of LRHS projects that have received grant funding from the Logan-Rogersville Educational Foundation (LREF).

### Controversies

In February 2014, a vulgar flier was circulated among LRHS students that described a points contest for the winter homecoming dance for accomplishing various sexual acts including rape. School officials were made aware of the flier prior to the homecoming dance, and three students were placed under investigation.
In October 2017, LRHS was the center of controversy due to the "Rogersville Horror Story" fundraiser for the school's Project Graduation, which was a haunted house event in a local funeral home. Critics argued that the event was "distasteful" and that it was "insensitive to use a place of grief and mourning to make a mockery of death" while supporters argued that the "facility has been closed for a while and is slated for demolition" and that the event was worthwhile with "proceeds going toward a safe celebration for seniors on graduation night".
On February 28, 2018, it was reported that a student was planning on bringing a gun to LRHS. After the student was detained and questioned, the threat was deemed as not credible, but additional security was provided from the Rogersville Police Department at LRHS following the threat.
On May 13, 2019, An LRHS student reportedly warned other students not to come to school the following day on May 14. The threat was reported to law enforcement, and after an investigation throughout the prior night, the student was arrested shortly after midnight. LRHS proceeded with caution in providing an additional police presence on May 14.
In June 2021, a former LRHS student filed a lawsuit against the school district and former track coach for a knee injury suffered during high school track practice on May 29, 2018. The lawsuit claimed that the injury was the result of a "dangerous condition" with a "foreseeable risk of harm" with students performing "toe touches both on and off unsecured metal folding chairs on the concrete gym floor".
