Logan, who was driving a minivan, was airlifted to a Rochester hospital, but was later pronounced dead, according to Elstad.
Tuesday was her first day back at school as a senior. She has three other siblings at Byron area schools.
"This came as hard news. We're doing all we can right now to support the family and our staff and students," said Elstad.
There are grief counselors at all three of the district's schools, Elstad said.
