Message From LMS Principal Travis Brunner
Dear Lamar Middle School Community, I am honored and excited to write to you as the proud new principal of Lamar Middle School. I entered college at Penn State University, knowing that my path and passion was to be an educator, and after completing my undergraduate degree in secondary education I started teaching 7th grade mathematics in North Carolina where I quickly knew the middle school level held a special place in my heart.
