==History==
Lamar opened in 1970 as AISD's third high school. Lamar relieved Arlington High School and Sam Houston High School. Cathy Brown of ''The Dallas Morning News'' said that Lamar's effect on Sam Houston was "minimal" because there were very few housing units located north of Division and east of Collins.〔Brown, Cathy (editorial columnist). "(No blackboard jungles despite changing demographics )." ''The Dallas Morning News''. Wednesday October 14, 1998. Opinions Arlington 7A. Retrieved on October 25, 2011.〕 Brown said that "()he effect on Arlington High School was huge" since the housing in the Arlington zone north to division had been moved to Lamar. 12th grade students that had been zoned out of Arlington High School continued to attend Arlington High School, despite being in the Lamar zone.〔
In 1982 Martin High School opened. Brown said that Sam Houston and Lamar were "relatively unaffected" by the opening of Martin, located in southwest Arlington.〔
