Lambert High School is a public secondary school located in unincorporated Suwanee, in Forsyth County, Georgia, a suburban area northeast of Atlanta. It is the newest of five high schools in the Forsyth County School District. The school is a state-of-the-art facility, with an annual enrollment of about 3,000 students. Most students who attend Lambert reside in southern Forsyth County, an affluent area located between Johns Creek, Suwanee, and Cumming. Lambert was built to alleviate over-crowding at South Forsyth High School, which is located 3.8 miles away on Peachtree Parkway.
Lambert High School is named after Clarence Lambert. He was born in Birmingham, Alabama. He received degrees in vocational agriculture from University of Georgia and a master's degree in school administration from Alabama Polytechnic Institute, now Auburn University. He served as the first principal of Forsyth County High School, which is now called Forsyth Central High School. Lambert also worked at the Georgia Department of Education as a program coordinator, as Assistant Superintendent in charge of facilities at Forsyth County Schools, and as Interim Superintendent of Forsyth County Schools.
An addition is currently being constructed by Charles Beall Constitution Company, Inc.
Students are drawn from Riverwatch Middle School and South Forsyth Middle School.
During the 2015-2016 school year, Lambert had an enrollment of 3,017 students. The student body was 69.4% White, 18.6% Asian, 5.5% Hispanic, 3.7% Black, 2.5% Multiracial, and 0.3% Native American.
