Lamar Parents and Community Members,
At approximately 1:30 PM the Lamar Middle School was evacuated due to an electrical issue within a rooftop HVAC unit. The fire department was called and arrived within minutes. Fire Department and LSD maintenance crews are currently assessing the situation. All students are safe and accounted for. A special thanks to the LMS administration, faculty, staff, SROs, and the Lamar Fire Department for their quick response in ensuring the safety of our students.
Miss Mac's AP World History students recently participated in a gallery walk exploring their classmates' "Autopsy of an Empire" posters. In this project, students researched the achievements of these early modern empires and analyzed the causes of their eventual decline.

We’re so proud of these ambitious students as they take steps toward their dreams!

Your adaptability, dedication, and care make such a difference in the lives of our students and staff.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: Making Lamar Safer, One Door at a Time!
We are incredibly proud of three innovative East students, Jason Easterling, Autumn Conklin, and Kyren Broomfield who identified a campus security need and took action! These outstanding students developed "Project Peephole" to enhance classroom safety by installing peepholes in our classroom doors.
Not only did they identify the need, but they also professionally presented their solution to both our administrative team and school board. Their presentation was so impressive that supplies were immediately approved!
This is what student leadership looks like - seeing a problem, creating a solution, and making our school community safer for everyone. Way to go, Warriors!
Keep an eye on our EAST facebook page for more information and updates on the project!
