Backstory:
Our news feed is made up of several contributing communities from around the Lampasas area. We are currently working towards a full-on news site, but for now we have individual sites for each of our city’s schools (Air Force, MacArthur High School, Bellaire High School, and Lampasas High School). If you’d like to see your news feed on the front page, please email us at [email protected] and let us know! We are also working on adding a Page 2 feature to our site where we can horde stories that haven’t seen the light of day.
If you’re interested in contributing to our site, you can sign up for a city here. In the near future, we will also be adding a section to lampasasbreakingnews.com where anyone interested in writing or submitting photos/video can do so, and will be published on their respective pages (i.e. Lampasas, Bellaire, Bellmead).
