 Lamar High School is an International Baccalaureate school whose goal it is to provide the best opportunity for a diverse group of students to receive a rigorous, internationally accredited education, with a broad range of extracurricular activities, in a safe and nurturing environment. The goal of the IB is for students to be challenged academically, while also finding creative and physical fitness outlets, getting involved in the community around them, and developing a global view that takes the student beyond their immediate environment.

 Principal's Corner 

Earlier today we met with crisis and trauma specialists to develop a plan for short term and long term support for the Lamar community.  Please watch tomorrow for an email with information about opportunities next week to learn more about social and emotional well-being in adolescents, and how to recognize the warning signs that someone may be in danger.  We will be hosting meetings during the lunch periods for students and an evening meeting for parents. 

DON’T FORGET

We will be hosting a meeting on Monday, 4/15 in the Performance Hall for current parents and students who what to learn more about the new school construction and instructional design.  We will begin promptly at 6:00 p.m. and will have administrators on site after the presentation to answer questions.
