Del Valle Opportunity Center demolished.

The Del Valle Opportunity Center has now been demolished after a long time being vacant. What operated as a K-12 school for at-risk students now has relocated to the current campus of Del Valle High School. In April 2016, the Lamar School was demolished. The demolition process was a quick and speedy process due to the International style L-plan building being one story.

The Del Valle Opportunity Center first opened as Lamar School (as known as La Mar School) which would later become Lamar Elementary School for African-American students for the Colorado Common School District (now Del Valle Independent School District) in 1937 inside a two-room schoolhouse. In 1957, the Lamar School relocated into a modernized International style L-plan building as their campus. Until 1970, Lamar School operated as a school for African American students residing in Del Valle and the surrounding areas. Several buildings were built across the 6 acre campus. Additional portables were pulled in. Lamar School would eventually become the Del Valle Opportunity Center in 1978. 

The Del Valle Independent School District school board passed a bond in 2007 to relocate the Del Valle Opportunity Center to another new building. In 2010, the Del Valle Opportunity Center was relocated to the new location of Del Valle High School. In 2011, the Del Valle Opportunity Center was all but abandoned. The International style L-plan building quickly fell into rural decay. In April 2016, the Lamar School was finally demolished. The one story International style L-plan building no longer exists.
