I love my high school, they give us so many opportunities and most of the teachers are amazing. They take very good care of us and make sure we are ready for college.

Lamar County High School gave me a very good experience throughout high school up until me graduating in May of 2025. Throughout this journey I always had help and resources provided and offered to me to make things happen easier. Many of those resources are the reason I did so well throughout these years of studies. Our school does offer many events for the parents to make sure they stay in the know on most things. The environment is very healthy and I always feel safe when at school.

The best part of this school is that they l offers vast opportunities to get you ready for the real world. For instance I have already started a bridge program that guarantees my acceptance into nursing school at Gordon State College. I would say the worst part of my high school experience is student involvement. I am very involved when it comes to clubs or activities but because other students are not it takes the excitement and joy from all the things we get to do.
