At North Lamar High School, we are ready and willing to help students navigate their way through high school and beyond. We constantly strive to give our students every resource they need to be prepared for what lies ahead.
Students, you are welcome to stop by the counselor’s office at any time for a visit. If you would rather schedule an appointment online, that is an option as well using the one of the counselor appointment forms:
Remember, our doors are always open for emergency situations involving the safety/well-being of our students. Please continue to seek immediate attention for these types of needs.
Need immediate attention and help outside of school hours? Contact the National Suicide Prevention Hotline one of three ways: call 988, send a text to 988, or chat online. For emergencies, call 911.
What must I do if I suspect abuse or neglect of a child?
Every adult in the State of Texas is mandated by law to report suspected child abuse.
If you believe the child is in immediate danger, please call local law enforcement or dial 911. Next, call the Texas Abuse Hotline to make a report.
If the child is not in immediate danger, contact the Texas Abuse Hotline by phone or online.
The Texas Abuse Hotline is open 24/7/365 at 1-800-252-5400. (Report via the online reporting system for non-urgent situations only. A non-urgent situation means that intervention is not needed within 24 hours.)
