Daryl Guymon has been named as the new principal at Logan High School

LOGAN – Logan High will have a new principal after Ken Auld recently retired because he needed to live closer to family along the Wasatch Front. Auld had been the principal at Logan High since 2016 and helped shepherd students and staff through a remodel and expansion of Logan High School. According to the Logan City School District, Daryl Guymon has been appointed to replace Auld and officially began his tenure on July 1st.

“It is a great honor to be selected as the next principal of Logan High School,” Guymon said in a statement. “I have been an educator and administrator in Logan City School District for the past 26 years.”

Guymon has been a teacher in the Logan City School District at Adams, Hillcrest and Woodruff elementary schools before moving into administration. He has served as a principal at Woodruff Elementary and Mount Logan Middle School. Over the past two years Guymon was serving as the Director of Secondary Schools in the district, which provided an opportunity for him to work with the teachers, staff and students of Logan High School.

“Logan High has a rich tradition of excellence in academics, athletics, the arts, and student leadership,” Guymon added. “I have witnessed the dedication of Logan High teachers and staff in helping every student succeed even in challenging circumstances. Over the course of my career, I have seen the dedication and devotion of Logan parents and community members to the success of students at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels.

“Students at Logan High bring energy, enthusiasm, excellence, and dedication to their educational pursuits. I give thanks to Superintendent Schofield and to the Logan City Board of Education for giving me this opportunity to serve in this capacity.”

Guymon will oversee approximately 1,590 students in grades 9-12 and the first day of school for Logan High will be August 18th.

“I have admired and respected Daryl since we were both elementary principals together,” said Logan City School District Superintendent Frank Schofield. “Daryl is passionate about the value of education and the importance of preparing students for their future. I am looking forward to the continued success of Logan High as Daryl joins the staff as principal.”

    Good riddance, Auld. Don’t look back on your way out of town.

    Ken Auld resigning is a great day for LHS, a sad day for CCSD, and a catastrophic day for whatever unfortunate district hires him. In my 18 years of teaching the two years I spent working under Ken Auld were by far the worst of my teaching career. Principals like Ken Auld are the reason why so many teachers leave the profession for good.

    Auld drove countless highly skilled teachers out of LHS and CCSD gladly scooped them up. Auld was the best recruiter that CCSD has ever had. Teachers that CCSD had, unsuccessfully, tried for years to lure from LHS ran to CCSD to escape Auld’s tyranny.

    After Auld’s second year at LHS many teachers left. At the beginning of his third year, Auld got in front of the remaining LHS staff and told everyone there that the only reason teachers left LHS was because they are bigots. Auld chose to assassinate the character of teachers who had given decades to LHS rather than look himself in the mirror and wonder if he might just be the reason everyone was leaving

    Guymon is a good guy. My kids have been under his career from Woodruff to Mt Logan and now my youngest will graduate from LHS with him as principal. I’ve always found him to be competent, empathetic and fair. I wish him all the luck. Glad they didn’t advance the LHS VP, Guymon deserves it more in my opinion.
