Lamar Parent-Teacher Organization

Welcome to the Lamar High School PTO Website!

Here you’ll find great information. Whether you’re a parent considering Lamar for your child, a parent of a child who will be an incoming student at Lamar, or if you’re already a proud Lamar parent, please visit us often to get updates on important news and information.

The Lamar PTO mission is to help create a welcoming environment that fosters parent involvement, keep parents informed, and support Lamar's faculty and staff.

The PTO provides funds and volunteer support for a variety of events at Lamar that benefit all of our children. Included in this effort is the PTO's management of teacher grants--known as “Teacher Wish Lists”--that provide much-needed items not always available through HISD, but can make a significant difference in your child's classroom experience.

We welcome you to be involved in whatever capacity you can participate. Again, please check our site often for important updates and information.
