my overall experience at Lanier was good for the most part there was a time when the ac in the school gave out so teachers had to use there own money to buy fans to keep us cool other teachers would give us water to make sure we would stay hydrated we did have the news come out to do a report of the story and then maybe within a week the ac got fixed and our teachers got reimbursed for buying the fans

I've been a student at Lanier Highschool since my sophomore year. I am now a senior getting ready to graduate. At Lanier I've have had such an amazing experience there. Glad to say I've stayed there for the rest of my highschool years.

The Best part about Lanier Highschool is the student participation for school events. For instance, the Pep Rally's, Fall Fest and Homecoming was so fun but the worst part is the lack of teachers. I would like for the school to hire more teachers.

MY DREAM was always to graduate from Harlandale High School but I moving to Lanier was a BLESSING. The students and teachers took me in. Lanier is not just a school.......it"s HOME! Lanier doesn't just take you in as another student, they take you in as FAMILY. Proud to be a VOK!!!!!!
8/5/2010
Lanier doesn't get the credit it deserves. The teachers work unconditionally with students. 90% of the students work hard and strive to succeed. Their fan support is unlike anything I've seen, regardless of past successfurl or poor seasons, the community is there through thick or thin.
