Logansport High School has been selected to participate in the Disney Musicals in Schools: Stage Connect Program, giving local elementary students a unique opportunity to experience musical theater with support from Disney on Broadway.

School officials announced the honor this week, noting that the school was chosen from more than 800 applicants nationwide to participate in the program during the upcoming school year.

The initiative will provide next year’s third- through fifth-grade students with the opportunity to take part in a full musical theater production while receiving educational resources, guidance, and support connected to Disney on Broadway.

School leaders described the selection as a major achievement and an exciting opportunity to expand arts education opportunities for students in DeSoto Parish.

“We are so honored to be a part of this and to bring new experiences and skills to our students,” the school shared in its announcement.

The Disney Musicals in Schools program is designed to introduce students to musical theater while helping build confidence, teamwork, creativity, and performance skills through participation in school productions.

Officials say the program will allow students to experience hands-on learning in acting, singing, stage performance, and production preparation while encouraging collaboration and self-expression.

Additional details about the upcoming production and student participation opportunities are expected to be released later this fall as planning begins for the program’s first year at Logansport High School.
