Lamar County High School

October 4, 2023 – The Lamar County School System is proud to announce the achievement of the Georgia School Boards Association’s (GSBA) 2023 Quality School Board recognition. The recognition program is designed to showcase best practices in school governance and leadership. GSBA recognizes good school board governance to foster educational community cultures in order to advance student learning and achievement. The Lamar County School Board met and/or exceeded the criteria set forth by GSBA to earn the honor of a 2023 Quality Board. The GSBA Governance Team Recognition Program was developed by Georgia superintendents and board members based on the state board of education’s standards for effective governance to recognize exemplary leadership. In 1998, the Georgia School Boards Association was one of the first school board associations in the nation to develop a program of standards for local boards of education. The GSBA Board recognition program is a three-tiered program.
