Principal's Corner
What is the TSIA2?
The Texas Success Initiative Assessment 2.0 is used to help universities determine the appropriate level of math instruction for incoming freshmen. Once a student meets the set threshold, they will be able to begin college-level work. A student scoring below the threshold will be required to take the pre-college level course first.
We offer this to seniors at no charge. If you are told by your college or university that you need to take the TSIA2, please reach out to Ms. Gould in the College Corner.

Dress Code Policy
Lamar's Dress Code Policy will be enforced for the 2022-2023 school year. Students are required to wear blue or white collared shirts with the Lamar logo and khaki bottoms or jeans with no holes. Check out the full policy below.

Clear Bag Policy
Starting August 22, 2022, all students will be required to use a clear back on campus. Some of you may be applauding the move, while I imagine there are others who find this to be an overreach. I would like to provide you with the reasoning.
