North Lamar Independent School District is a public school district based in Paris, Texas (USA).
The district serves northern portions of Paris, the cities of Reno and Sun Valley, as well as the census-designated place of Powderly, in northern Lamar County. Also within the Lamar County section of this district are the unincorporated communities of Arthur City, Chicota, and Sumner. A very small portion of northeastern Fannin County also lies within the district. North Lamar ISD is also the largest 4A school district in northeast Texas, by land size.
In 2009, the school district was rated "recognized" by the Texas Education Agency.
In August 2024, the new North Lamar Intermediate School was opened serving grades two through five. It’s located at 310 NL Parkway Paris, Texas 75460.
In August 2025, the newly renovated Cecil Everett Elementary was opened to welcome students and parents. W.L. Higgins Elementary was closed permanently.
On July 6, 2017, North Lamar ISD developed their own Police Department consisting of one Chief and three officers. Another police officer position was added in 2022 to satisfy new Texas state law by placing one officer on each campus. The officers are strategically placed throughout the district for the protection of the students, staff and community. Their goal is to provide a safe learning environment while making a positive impact in the lives of the students.
