And as years go by you'll grow
In Honor and in fame.
History
The history of North Lamar goes back to the 68 rural school districts that once existed throughout the communities in the northern half of Lamar County. Upon the consolidation of Powderly-Reno and Central school districts in 1970-71, the district became known as North Lamar Independent School District. In 1975, the Chicota schools joined the district. The area economy includes manufacturing, farming and ranching. With an enrollment of approximately 3,150 students, North Lamar ISD has one high school, one middle school, and three elementary schools to serve the students in the district.
