McHale Performing Arts Center was built three years after high school #5 with a generous $1.2 million gift from Mr. Frank McHale (Class of 1910) , a Logansport native who became a successful attorney.  

The facility was first dedicated as McHale Auditorium on November 7, 1976. It held that name until January 14, 2002, when the LCSC School Board updated it to the McHale Performing Arts Center. It was rededicated on Sunday, October 5, 2003. Watch the ceremony here. Mr. Ken Fraza has been the facility manager since it opened in the fall of 1976. The facility impacts the lives of not only LHS students but the entire community. It is truly a shared facility. After 42 years, Mr. Fraza retired in June 2018. 

Mr. John Vales is the current Facility Manager. 

Frank McHale was born July 22, 1889 to Martin and Margaret Farrell McHale. He had one sister, Katherine (Class of 1910), to whom he dedicated the McHale Room at McHale PAC.
