I attended to Lamar county High School and Graduate in May 2025. My best time here was when I was a senior and was doing Dual Enrollment of Spring 2025, I was doing college classes online because I had no way of getting to Gordon State College. I completed my DE classes in the Media Center, where it was quiet, peaceful and informative.
