Our Story

As a junior high campus, students in 7th, 8th, and 9th grades attended. As a middle school campus since 1975, Lamar now holds classes for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. School colors are maroon and gold. The school mascot is the Bearcat. The unofficial school motto is “Once a Bearcat Always a Bearcat!” Doors open at 7:50.
