Recently, students from grades 8 through 12 at Lamar High School had the unique opportunity to visit the Be Pro Be Proud mobile workshop, which was stationed on campus. The mobile workshop provides an interactive and engaging experience designed to introduce students to a variety of high-wage, high-demand careers in skilled trades.
The Be Pro Be Proud initiative is dedicated to inspiring young people to consider careers in fields such as construction, manufacturing, and transportation, which are vital to Arkansas’ economy. By offering hands-on exposure to these professions, the program encourages students to explore career paths that promise both job stability and financial success.
The event is part of a broader effort to bridge the gap between education and industry, helping students make informed decisions about their futures. This experience opens doors to exciting career paths and empowers students to envision their future in these dynamic fields.

Hello, Everyone!
Don't get cooked! You have exactly 7 days to order a yearbook for this year. We simply cannot guarantee that you will be able to order a yearbook after that date, as they need a number for the printers/publishers.
Please go to the website or use the QR code below to access the site to order one if you intend to do so. Students/parents/grandparents/guardians--TIME IS ALMOST UP!
This year's yearbook is going to be TOP NOTCH!
Mrs. Deen's kindergarten class with the help of student intern Ms Armstrong have been learning about economics. They had the opportunity to practice buying and selling items.
Jackie King and Tim Tanner from St Mary's came to visit the 8th grade career development classes. Students were taught about the warning signs for stroke and heart attack. They practiced how to perform CPR, and how to check heart rates and blood pressure.
Order your 2025 yearbook today! ONCE THEY’RE GONE, THEY'RE GONE!
There are only ten days left to guarantee a yearbook for your student. We do not plan on ordering many extra books and those few books will be sold first come, first served in the sequence of date/time purchased. There is no guarantee of a yearbook if you don’t place your order NOW!
