Lamar high school is centered around sports and community. I would love to see more additions to the FFA programs and more highlight on the academics rather then student athletes.

I loved every teacher I had.. they were always available to help a student when they needed it and did everything they could to make sure the students passed their class. They were always very nice and helpful and still are today.
