Ask Logan Logan Crowell is a junior at OHS. He’s on campus every afternoon for English III and AFM. On Tuesday and Thursday mornings, he attends classes at Durham Tech, working on certification in criminal justice. Logan is considering enlisting with the Army upon graduation, hoping to work with the military police and eventually in local law enforcement. His DTCC courses count as electives toward high school graduation, and since he’s still in high school, he pays NO college tuition. “I feel like participating in college classes now is preparing me for life after high school. Earning certification in criminal justice shows the Army and future employers that I’m proactive -- I’ve got a plan.”
