Attending: The Hill School
Hometown: Orange Park, Florida
For Logan, independence began with a flight from Seattle to Connecticut. The son of an active-duty military officer, he had spent much of his life moving between communities. When he arrived at Rumsey, his family was across the country, and he was living at school for the first time.
“The second I got on that flight, there was no turning back,” he said. “It was just me, out in the world, going to Rumsey.”
In one year, Logan learned to manage his academic work, daily schedule, and responsibilities as a boarding student. Just as important, he learned to speak comfortably with adults, advocate for himself, and ask for what he needed. He credits Rumsey’s teachers, dorm parents, and secondary school counseling program with giving him room to become independent while providing support when he needed it.
Logan arrived with a broken leg, which kept him on the sidelines during football season. By winter, he was on the ice for hockey. Accustomed to skating several times a week with club teams, he saw a significant difference when he began skating and practicing every day at Rumsey. In the spring, he joined varsity lacrosse.
He also explored interests beyond athletics. Logan sang in Chorus, began learning guitar, served as a tour guide, and became a trusted role model for younger students. Knowing that his younger brother would attend Rumsey the following year made setting a positive example especially important to him.
“The biggest thing for me was noticing how many different things you can do here,” he said. “You just have to be a sponge and take it all in.”
Now at The Hill School, Logan plans to continue hockey and lacrosse while pursuing more advanced academic work, singing, playing guitar, and trying theater.
