About Lamar CISD

Learn About Lamar CISD

Lamar CISD remains a great place to raise a family. Campuses are designed with smaller enrollments (high schools are designed for no more than 2,000 students) to provide more opportunities for students to assume leadership roles and participate in campus activities. Lamar CISD also has sixth-grade-only campuses (middle schools) that focus on the needs of pre-adolescents, providing a smooth transition to secondary schools.

Lamar CISD is proud to be an HEB Excellence in Education Large District finalist and home to National Principals of the Year, Gates Millennium Scholars, National Blue Ribbon Schools, Rodeo Art Grand Champions, and State Athletic Championships. Lamar CISD is a member of the comptroller's Honors Circle for financial and academic excellence. Over the past 15 years, it has passed four bond referendums while maintaining one of the lowest tax rates in the Houston area.

Mission Statement

To educate all students by ensuring access to a superior education through inspired leadership among parents, teachers, administrators, and staff, allowing students to achieve their full potential to participate in future social, economic and educational opportunities in their community.
