Ashland Beacon
Logan Gibeaut is the son of Scott and Suzie Gibeaut from Ashland, KY. Logan graduated from Holy Family High School with high distinction, a GPA of 3.6-4.0. His family has long history with Holy Family School. His grandfather was a graduate of the school, his mother attended Holy Family through 8th grade because there was no high school at that time and now Logan is a graduate. Not only has Logan graduated from high school, he has also graduated from ACTC with and associates degree.
Logan explains, “Holy Family High School participates in a collegiate program. Your last 2 years of high school you are pretty much a college student. We can graduate high school with our associates degree. I chose the technical side of the college.” Logan studied welding during his time at ACTC and is already employed. He said one of the biggest adjustments for him was getting used to was being an employee rather than a student.
Logan attended Holy Family schools beginning with kindergarten and continued until graduation. Growing up he played baseball and basketball from 3rd grade through his freshman year in high school. He was a member of the archery team and competed at the state level. He was also a member of the National Honor Society.
When asked about his hobbies Logan smiled and chuckled, “Well it’s just as redneck as can be. I go out to these county fairs and run demolition derbies.” After a good laugh he went on to say he has been running them since he 16 years old. He builds his own cars with the help of his dad. “It’s just a whole lot of fun I have a great time! My dad doesn’t drive but he helps me with my cars.”
The thing that Logan liked the most about Holy Family was the one on one time with the teachers. He mentioned one particular teacher, Mr. Worthington, “He was always willing to stay after school if we needed help with anything.” Suzie, Logan’s mom, interjected, “he was an amazing teacher.” Scott Gibeaut said that all the teachers were really great and went on to explain, “Mr. Worthington helps them get prepared for college.”
Logan’s parents are very proud of their son and his accomplishments. His mom says, “He’s a wonderful young man, very bright & dedicated. He has been working somewhere since he was 15 years old.” According to Logan, “I’ve learned you have to make money if you want to do something with your life.” This is a very valuable lesson to have learned at 18 years of age.
Looking back on his high school years Logan says his favorite memory is from his Freshman year. “I remember winning the championship in basketball….we went undefeated that year.” Logan’s dad added that he was a starter on the team that year and a big part of those wins.
Logan plans to continuing working at his current employment for the time being. His ultimate goal is to become a member of the operator’s union and remain in the Ashland area to work.
