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 87. A resident of Cobb County throughout his life, he attended one room schools near his place of birth at what is now known as the intersection of Johnson Ferry Road and Bishop Lake Road.

All nine of the Lassiter's children graduated from high school. Five received their education at Marietta High School, two attended Roswell High School and two graduated from Acworth High School. 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 East 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.

Frank Fillman Stadium

In the fall of 2006, it was announced that Lassiter High School would receive a brand new football stadium, dubbed "The Frank!" in honor of former football coach Frank Fillman. The stadium cost an estimated 7.14 million dollars, some of which was taxpayer money but mostly came from private corporations, including Gas South, as part of an agreement that they would be the school's exclusive energy supplier and would donate more money to each customer they gained in the school district. This has led to the creation of a new electronic sign outside the school, showcasing Gas South and other sponsors, along with ads on the new Jumbotron at the stadium. The jumbotron, made by Daktronicks, is currently the largest one of its kind at a high school stadium.^{[citation needed]} This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...
