Lamar High is a gripping, heartfelt novella about the power of truth in an education system built on silence.
When Lamar High fails to meet the state's testing standards, administrators respond by quietly pushing students through the system—regardless of what they've learned. But two passionate African-American teachers, History teacher Orlando James and Math teacher Michelle Anderson, refuse to stay silent. Behind closed doors and outside official hours, they begin teaching their students what the textbooks leave out: real-life skills, lost history, and how to think critically in a world designed to keep them uninformed.
As the underground movement grows, Principal Janis Smith tightens her grip on the school, determined to crush any rebellion. But she underestimates the students—and the spirit these two educators ignite in them.
Told with drama, wit, and hope, Lamar High is a story of resistance, rediscovery, and what happens when a classroom becomes the birthplace of change. For anyone who's ever believed in a teacher who changed their life, this is their story
