Welcome to Lamar High School

Principal: Rita Graves
Phone: 713-522-5960
Email: lamarhstexans@houstonisd.org

Last night I had the opportunity to sit back and watch out team at work as they educated 9th-grade parents about the IB Programmes at Lamar. It is always a source of pride for me to get to watch our team engage with parents and students to design learning pathways that work for kids. We will be posting the slide show on the Lamar website next week.

The next few days will bring heavy traffic to the Lamar area as we host a swim tournament today and tomorrow and a debate tournament on campus Friday and Saturday. Please bring a little extra patience at dismissal time today and tomorrow.

Clear Bag Policy

Starting August 22, 2022, all students will be required to use a clear back on campus. Some of you may be applauding the move, while I imagine there are others who find this to be an overreach. I would like to provide you with the reasoning.

New Learning Management System : Canvas

HISD is implementing a new Learning Management System (LMS) to replace the HUB this school year with Canvas. Canvas will be used across the district to help students learn and grow. With any changes, we know there can be stress about learning a new tool. We have put together some helpful tip videos to ease the transition.
