Message from the Superintendent
Welcome, Trojan Nation!
At Lamar County Schools, our mission is "Learning today to succeed tomorrow." As superintendent, it is an honor to serve our students, their families, our dedicated faculty and staff, and the broader community.
Lamar County Schools has a rich history that is deeply rooted in tradition. I am committed to honoring those traditions while introducing new experiences that we hope will grow into future traditions.
As a proud member of the Lamar County community for the past 19 years, I’ve watched our school system build a strong instructional foundation and develop a supportive network among all stakeholders. I am proud to serve this community, and it is my personal mission to continue building on the firm foundation of Lamar County Schools and help elevate our district to the next level.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jessica Watson
Superintendent
