The Class of 2024 from Logan-Rogersville High School can now add a fun fact to their resume: Guinness World Record holder.
They were the ones who pushed for it, but they didn’t do it alone.
The Guinness World Record Organization recently announced the Logan-Rogersville school district set a record for the World’s Largest Game of Follow the Leader .
The attempt was made April 24 but the record was not confirmed until recently. The record was made public Sept. 20 in a video shown during the football game.
Assistant Superintendent Jennifer Katzin said the district waited five months for a decision. The confirmation process involved the district submitting evidence, which had to reviewed.
“We felt we’d accomplished our goal,” she said.
Logan-Rogersville had 2,348 confirmed participants in its game of Follow the Leader, shattering the previous record of 768 set in 2015.
This is the second Guinness World Record held by the Logan-Rogersville district.
In 2011, Katzin — then principal of the elementary school — successfully led the district campaign to earn a Guinness World Record for the Largest Game of Duck Duck Goose . There were 2,135 participants.
