Lamar Institute of Technology traces its roots to March 8, 1923, when the South Park School District in Beaumont authorized its superintendent to proceed with plans to open "a junior college of the first class." On September 17, South Park Junior College opened with 125 students and a faculty of 14. Located on the third floor of the South Park High School building, the college shared the library and athletic facilities with the high school. In 1932 separate facilities were provided and the name of the institution was changed to Lamar College, to honor Mirabeau B. Lamar, second president of the Republic of Texas and the "Father of Education" in Texas.
