SUPERINTENDENT
In his 46th year of service to public school children, James A.
Dawson’s leadership has taken North Lamar ISD to new heights.
After joining the district in 1987 as high school principal, the office of
superintendent was added to his responsibilities in the spring of 1989.
North Lamar’s Board of Trustees named him superintendent without
the additional duties as principal that fall.
As superintendent to approximately 3,000 students, North Lamar
has seen growth in all areas: the passing of a $11,500,000 bond in
1994 for the present day high school, an addition to Aaron Parker
Elementary in 1996, a state-of-the-art indoor athletic facility in March
JAMES A. dAWSON
of 2006, and a $4.68 million dollar favorable bond for new science and computer labs at the high
school in the spring of 2010.
Mr. Dawson is passionate about his job and is North Lamar’s biggest fan. He attends as
many student activities as he possibly can and has been known to see performances in three
corners of Texas, all in the same day. Mr. Dawson efficiently balances a $26.8 million dollar
budget with overseeing the 44 bus routes to directing the afternoon traffic, substituting in a
classroom, or delivering birthday cards and extending a hand shake to 500 employees.

The Histor� of NORTH LAMAR ISD
NLISd SUPERINTENdENTS
North Lamar has its roots in the northern Lamar
County community of Powderly. Area students attended
Powderly Independent School District in an old wooden
building until 1939 when a new rock school was built.
By 1944, Powderly ISD’s enrollment was 120 students,
employed twelve teachers, and contained approximately
116 square miles. The district consolidated with Lone Star
Consolidated School District in 1963 adding approximately
52 square miles to the Powderly district.
Powderly School
In the northeastern portion of Lamar County, Reno School
District was formed by an order of the Lamar County
James A. Dawson
1989 - Present
Commissioners Court on June 17, 1887. In 1964, it was
annexed into Powderly ISD and a year later a $1,000,000
bond provided for the first high school, Powderly-Reno
High School for grades 9-12 (presently Frank Stone Middle
School), a field house, and stadium. The two schools
consolidated a year later forming Powderly-Reno School
Roy C.
Chadwick
1974- 1989
District.
Powderly-Reno High School
Established in 1944 and serving the county’s
northwestern communities of Emberson, Caviness,
Maxey, Sumner, and others was Central School District.
The district consolidated with Powderly-Reno in 1970 to
become the North Lamar Independent School District.
Cecil
Everett
1971 - 1974
Serving 1,254 students,
NLISD added classrooms
to the high school and
Central Elementary School
renamed it Frank Stone High School (presently Frank Stone Middle School.)
In 1975, enrollment was boosted again to 1,909 when North Lamar
added 450 students from Chicota Rural High School District. To accommodate
the increasing number of students, another $1,000,000 bond was necessary.
This bond provided for a southern wing to the high school for a junior high
Central School District
(Geneva Bailey Junior High), the addition of Cecil Everett Elementary, and an
addition to the Powderly school. An administration building was included in the bond, and the Powderly school
was renamed Aaron Parker Elementary School.
Another favorable bond for $3,985,000 in 1985, provided for Geneva Bailey Middle School, a
Frank
Stone
1944 - 1971
gymnasium at Cecil Everett Elementary, and for Goodman Learning Center. The addition of W. L. Higgins
Elementary made room for the growing number of students in 1989.
Twenty-nine years after the district’s first bond passed, an $11,500,000 bond passed providing
construction for the present day North Lamar High School. Doors for this facility opened in 1996 to students
in grades 9-12. A state-of-the-art indoor athletic facility, dedicated the James A. Dawson Athletic Facility, was
added in March of 2006. One more addition to the high school was completed in the fall of 2010 after a $4.68
million dollar bond passed to add new science and computer labs to the high school following a state-mandate
requiring students to have four years of math and science.
Today, grades 6-8 are served at Frank Stone Middle School and grades 4-5 at Geneva Bailey
Aaron
Parker
1936 - 1944
Intermediate School. Cecil Everett holds elementary grades 2-3 while students in early childhood through first
grade are housed at W. L. Higgins. In its original rock structure in Powderly, Aaron Parker continues to serve
the northern part of the district with Head Start and Kindergarten through fifth grades. Currently, North Lamar
ISD’s enrollment is approximately 3,000 students and is proud to be rated a ‘Recognized’ district by the Texas
Education Agency.

STAAR TEST TO REPLACE TAKS
Beginning in spring 2012, the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR™) will replace the Texas
Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS). The STAAR program at grades 3–8 will assess the same subjects and
grades that are currently assessed on TAKS. At high school, however, grade-specific assessments will be replaced with
12 end-of-course (EOC) assessments: Algebra I, geometry, Algebra II, biology, chemistry, physics, English I, English
II, English III, world geography, world history, and U.S. history. Students in the graduating Class of 2015 will be the first
students who must meet the end-of-course testing requirements, as well as pass their classes, in order to earn a diploma.
