Amanda Thrower - Principal

It is such an honor to serve as the principal of Lambert High School! Lambert is much more than the place where I work. It is home. As a parent of two Lambert graduates and a future Longhorn, and a longtime member of this incredible community, I have a deeply personal investment in our school. Like every parent, I want the very best high school experience for my children. As Lambert's principal, I want that same experience for every child who walks through our doors.

Since beginning my career in Forsyth County Schools in 2002, I have had the opportunity to work with students, staff, and families across both the middle and high school levels in a variety of instructional and leadership roles. Those experiences have reinforced my belief that strong relationships, high expectations, and a commitment to serving others are the foundation of a great school. As I begin my fourth year as principal of Lambert High School, I am grateful to lead a community that lives those values every day.

I earned my bachelor's degree from Berry College, my master's degree from the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!), and my Ed.S. from Nova Southeastern University. This fall, I am excited to begin pursuing my doctorate in Educational Leadership at the University of Georgia.

I love our students, our staff, and our community. Together, we are committed to ensuring every Longhorn is known, challenged, supported, and empowered to LEAD well, LIVE well, and LOVE well.

Sarah Barlow - Assistant Principal

I absolutely love being a Longhorn! I began my teaching career 14 years ago at Riverwatch Middle School where I taught Language Arts and served as an Instructional Coach and Student Support Coordinator. I also served as Liberty Middle School's Instructional Coach.  I graduated from Georgia College (Go Bobcats!) with a degree in Middle Grades Education. From there I moved to Athens and worked on my Master's in Middle Grades Education from the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!). I also have a Specialist in Curriculum and Instruction. I absolutely love the teaching and learning process and finding ways for learning to come alive in the classroom!  When I'm not at school, my husband, Davis, and I are raising our two children- Collins (10) and Greer (8).  I am so excited for another year to lead, live, and love alongside the Lambert Community! Hook 'EM!
