Dear North Lamar ISD Families,

Welcome to North Lamar ISD! It is a privilege to serve as Superintendent of this incredible district, a place I have proudly called home for over 23 years. Having served as a teacher, counselor, assistant principal, and principal before stepping into the role of Superintendent in 2019, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside our students, staff, and families through every stage of their educational journey. These experiences have shaped my belief that education thrives on trust, communication, and teamwork.

At North Lamar ISD, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student is inspired to reach their full potential. Our mission is to prepare students for success beyond graduation by providing innovative programs and initiatives that drive academic achievement. Through strong partnerships with parents, community members, and local stakeholders, we ensure students have access to the tools and resources they need to succeed.

As a lifelong member of the Paris, Texas community, I understand the unique value of community support. This connection fuels my passion for education and drives my commitment to creating a district culture rooted in respect, trust, and collaboration. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of watching our students grow, graduate, and achieve their dreams — moments that continue to inspire my work every day.

Looking ahead, I am excited about the opportunities that lie before us. With your support, we will continue to provide exceptional educational experiences that prepare students for the future. By working together, we can ensure that every child’s unique potential is recognized, nurtured, and celebrated.

Thank you for trusting North Lamar ISD with your child’s education. It is an honor to lead this district, and I look forward to many more years of growth, innovation, and shared success.

With gratitude and optimism,
Kelli Stewart
Superintendent, North Lamar ISD
