Logansport High School proudly announces 1964 graduate Lenny Corso as their newest inductee into the Hall of Distinction. Lenny is a Vietnam-era veteran who served with the U.S. Army and the 3rd Special Forces Group as a “Green Beret” medic from 1966 to 1969.
After receiving his honorable discharge, he returned to college to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Health Science from Indiana State University, a Master’s degree from Ball State University in Physiology and Health Science, and then earned a medical certificate as a Physician Assistant from the Indiana University School of Medicine. He worked for ten years as a Physician Assistant in occupational medicine before moving into pharmaceutical sales for nearly 20 years. Currently, he is an adjunct professor at Ivy Tech Community College in Valparaiso, IN. He has been teaching Advanced Human Physiology to nursing and health career professionals for the past 17 years.
Lenny played a significant role in establishing the Logansport High School Military Wall of Honor. His contributions to the healthcare field, community, and nation reflect the school’s loyalty, honor, and service values.
The school will formally recognize Lenny during the 153rd Commencement Ceremony on Sunday, June 2, at 2:00 p.m. in the Berry Bowl.
“I am very humbled by this wonderful honor. As a student, I was just an average, ‘shy & quiet’ kid who was never involved in any clubs, activities, or sports in high school. I guess there is something to be said for being a ‘late bloomer’ in life.”
– Lenny Corso
