Mary Logan High School
Mary Logan High School
Mary Logan High School (MLHS) at John A. Logan College offers a vital alternative for area high school students seeking a path to graduation. The program provides both credit recovery options for students needing to make up coursework and a full-time option for those not thriving in a traditional school environment.
MLHS is a collaborative partnership between local high schools, John A. Logan College, and the Illinois State Board of Education. It serves students who have left school, are at risk of academic failure, or have experienced disciplinary or personal challenges that hindered their success in a conventional setting.
Students interested in an innovative path to high school completion must be between 16 and 21 years old for full-time enrollment, and at least 14 years old for credit recovery. All students must obtain permission from their high school district before enrolling.
The goal of MLHS is to re-engage students through compassion, consistency, and accountability-supporting their academic, social, and emotional growth as they work toward earning their high school diploma. In addition to diploma completion, students receive transition support into pathways such as dual credit, short-term certificates, gainful employment, and/or college enrollment.
