January 29, 2024 – Rosenberg, Texas – Last Friday, George Junior High School celebrated 50 years of
tradition, education, and excellence with alumni, staff, and friends of the
campus.
The event included an orchestra and choir performance, band
showcase, and guided campus tours. Alumni were invited to take a group picture,
and all guests signed a wall banner.
“It’s such a great time being able to celebrate such a big
milestone with our students, staff, and our community,” George JH Principal Dr.
Erin Forbes said.
In 1973, the campus originally opened as Lamar Junior High. Then,
in 1979, the Lamar CISD Board of Trustees approved the renaming of the campus
to honor Albert and Mamie George, who played an instrumental part in Fort Bend
County’s history.
“As our District continues to grow, it’s important to take a
moment to reflect on the path that was created long before us to get us where
we are today,” Lamar CISD Superintendent Dr. Roosevelt Nivens said.
A special thank you to Texas A&M Forest Service for donating a
pair of trees in honor of the occasion.
