Welcome to Lamar High School

Principal: Rita Graves

Phone: 713-522-5960

Email Us : lamarhstexanshisd@gmail.com

Lamar High School is an International Baccalaureate school whose goal 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

It is important to me that families and students are set up for success. I will offer an online meeting for all parents and students to review the instructional plan for online learning during the first 6-weeks and the plan for instruction as some students choose to return to campus and others opt to continue learning from home. While I do not have all the answers, I think we can provide enough information to help you begin to plan for academic success no matter the delivery method.

Please join me Tuesday, August 11^th at 6:00 p.m. for a Live Teams event. I will review our instructional continuity plan and you will be able to submit questions through the chat feature. A link for this event will be shared through the newsletter and will be available on the Lamar website a few days prior to the event. Please save the date!
