About Altamont

Altamont got its start in the late 1800s as a quiet railroad stop in Labette County. It really found its footing when the county built its high school here back in 1893. That early focus on schooling set the tone for the community, turning the town into a central hub for families across the rural area.

Labette County High School

Today, education remains a big part of everyday life in Altamont. The town is home to both the local grade school and Labette County High School, allowing kids to grow up and attend class right in town from preschool through graduation. Surrounded by open farmland and prairie, Altamont offers a relaxed, neighborly setting where Friday night sports, school events, and a peaceful daily routine bring people together.
