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 communities of Arthur City, Chicota, Powderly, and Sumner in northern Lamar County. 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.[1]
On July 6, 2017, North Lamar ISD developed their own Police Department consisting of one Chief and three officers. The officers are strategically placed throughout the district for the protection of the students, staff and community. Officers also teach character education programs such as D.A.R.E. And Gang Resistance Education and Training. Their goal is to provide a safe learning environment while making a positive impact in the lives of the students.
