Lamar Junior High

Named for the man who named the district. Mirabeau B. Lamar was the second president of the Republic of Texas and is called the Father of Texas Education for setting aside public land to fund schools and universities during his presidency. The district carries his name too.

Home of the Mustangs, grades seven and eight, open since 1957 — one of the older campuses on this network. Four core values: Excellence, Family, Scholarship, Respect. Principal Dr. Lea Mishlan came here from Wessendorff.
