Tomas High School will open in August 2025 with students from grades 9 to 12 (which are the students who are currently in grades 7-10). But if a student will be a senior for the 2025-2026 school year, they can remain at their current campus. Also, some students in sports or other UIL activities might have the opportunity to stay at their current school if they meet certain criteria, which will be shared later this school year.

The complex containing Tomas High School, Banks Junior High, and Bielstein Middle School will be located at 24730 Easton Ramsey Way.

The School Board recently decided to use our traditional approach to rezone to create the attendance boundary for Tomas High School. So, the district will continue to have separate attendance boundaries for elementary schools and secondary schools.

In February, the Board of Trustees will review all maps and determine which ones move forward to the Attendance Boundary Committee.

Lamar CISD is among the fastest-growing school districts in the state. A large number of residential developments are under construction or in the planning stages throughout the Lamar CISD community. The District must continue providing all students with a quality education. In a growing school system, it is inevitable that the district’s attendance zones will change to accommodate the growth. As new schools open and population shifts occur, the District may adjust attendance zones.

In August 2023, we will open Adriane Mathews Gray Elementary School. To create the roster of students who will attend this new school, we will need to rezone to pull students from existing, surrounding campuses. In addition, we are rezoning additional campuses to more evenly distribute enrollment across our elementary schools. Currently, one-third of Lamar CISD’s elementary schools are over capacity. Several schools, however, are well under their enrollment caps. By rezoning, students at all impacted schools can receive improved learning experiences. Rezoning to more evenly distribute our students across schools will relieve stretched resources and overcrowded classrooms in schools currently over enrollment and will increase per-capita funds and resources to schools currently under-enrollment

We appreciate everyone who provided input during the attendance boundary committee meetings and the rezoning process for the opening of Gray.

The Lamar CISD Board of Trustees has approved new elementary attendance zones that will impact Bowie, Culver, Taylor Ray, and Meyer Elementaries which will go into effect at the start of the next school year which begins in August 2023.

Lamar CISD is proud to be the number one fastest growing district of our size in the state of Texas. In fact, demographers project that our community will add more than 48,000 new single-family homes within the next decade. Since 2020, Lamar CISD has had the greatest number of new housing starts of any school district in the Houston metro area and the State of Texas.

To keep up with our growth, we are frequently building and opening new schools—while regularly reviewing and monitoring enrollment.

In August 2022, we will open Maxine Phelan Elementary School. To create the roster of students who will attend this new school, we had to rezone to pull students from existing, surrounding campuses. In addition, we are rezoning additional campuses to more evenly distribute enrollment across our elementary schools.

We appreciate everyone who provided input during the recent attendance boundary committee meetings and the rezoning process for the opening of Phelan.

The Lamar CISD Board of Trustees has approved new elementary attendance zones that will impact Arredondo, Hutchison, Phelan, Thomas and Williams Elementary which will go into effect at the start of the next school year which begins on August 22, 2022.
