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.[2] 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.
