Leamond N. Lassiter

Lassiter High School was named for Mr. Leamond N. Lassiter who rendered distinguished service as a member of the Cobb County Board of Education for 12 years and made innumerable contributions to education in Cobb County during his many years of service. Born in 1879, Mr. Lassiter was a leader in education throughout his adult life and until his death in 1966 at the age of 86. A resident of Cobb County throughout his life, he attended a one-room school (now the intersection of Johnson Ferry Rd. and Bishop Lake Rd.) near his birthplace.

All nine of Lassiter's children graduated high school. Five received their education at Marietta High, two attended Roswell High, and two graduated from Acworth High. The lack of adequate educational facilities caused extreme hardship to the Lassiter family and other families in Cobb County. Because of that fact, Mr. Lassiter became interested in education and was active in improving the school system in Cobb. Beginning in 1911, he served as a trustee for Union Academy, a school which was located at what is now the intersection of Sewell Mill Rd and Bill Murdock Rd. He helped with the building of the school and served as trustee. During the 1930s, Mr. Lassiter worked for the consolidation of schools in the Mt. Bethel area, a goal which later became a reality. He served as a trustee of the Mt. Bethel Jr. High School in the late 1930s. Realizing there was a need for higher education, Mr. Lassiter was instrumental in working out an agreement whereby Acworth High accepted students from the E. Cobb area. This afforded students in East Cobb their first opportunity to continue their education by riding a school bus to Acworth High, thus eliminating undue hardships on their families.
