Lanier High School was first organized as a junior-senior high school in 1925 providing instruction for pupils from the seventh through the twelfth grades. A new chapter was added in the school's history when, on February 8, 1954, it transferred from the old Lanier at 136 East Ash Street and occupied the new Lanier Junior-Senior High School building at 833 West Maple Street. On January 27, 1972, the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered that Lanier School be designated as a center for the enrollment of 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students. In 1991, 9th grade students were added to the enrollment.

The mascot of Lanier is the bulldog [ [http://www.jackson.k12.ms.us/school_sites/lanier/index.html Lanier High School] ] . Monta Ellis, NBA player on the Golden State Warriors, attended here.
