I've alway been extremely happy with Centennial Schools, in general, and Log College Middle School is no exception! It starts with great leadership, Dr. Bucky Clark is a phenomenal administrator and sets the bar high for his teaching staff. The teachers are second to none, and are extremely dedicated, caring, and knowledgeable. Attending this school more than prepares our children for the next stage in their scholastic career.

I absolytely love this school. It has the best dances and the teachers are always involved. The assistant principal, Mr. Julius is very involved and very kind, but when it is time to be disciplined, he will !

At Log College they recognize that the school owes much of its success to their principal, Dr. Bucky Clark. He is the main cheerleader and supporter. He repeatedly acknowledges his belief that Log has the best staff and student body in Pennsylvania and in the United States and, somewhere along the way, we began to believe it ourselves. His staff started a Blue Ribbon process to express their thanks to him for all he has done for Log since 1971. They were grateful that they could present him with the Pennsylvania Blue Ribbon. The National Blue Ribbon would be even better. I know, because I myself attended Log College!
