The Atmosphere is so encouraging and kind. All the students and faculty are willing to help whoever needs help with anything from tutoring before classes to raising money for a family in need.

Teachers really try to get involved with their students. When there is struggle, the entire school pitches in to help out. Academic coaches care about their players on and off the field. Other students stay focused. It's also very diverse and accepting.

I love that Lamar High School has very caring and supportive teachers and faculty. They are always to help, whether the kids need help with their school work or help them deal with problems from home. If there was one thing that needs improvement, it would be the food.
