History[]
In 1947 LCISD was first defined in the Fort Bend County public records. It was a consolidation of Richmond ISD, Rosenberg ISD and Beasley ISD along with a number of rural "Common School Districts".[3] The names of the Common School Districts were: Rice Farm, Thompsons, Booth, Simonton, Fulshear, Foster, Brandt, George, Cottonwood & Pleak.[4] Beginning in 1985 LCISD had served middle and high school students from the Kendleton Independent School District (KISD)'s boundaries.[5] KISD and its one school, Powell Point Elementary, were merged into Lamar CISD on July 1, 2010. KISD ceased operations on that date and LCISD began serving elementary students from the former KISD.[6] Kendleton ISD was originally one Common School District, also called Kendleton.[4] In 2009, Lamar CISD was named an H.E.B. Excellence in Education School District.[7]
Dr. Thomas Randle served as the district superintendent from 2001 until his retirement in 2021. During his tenure, LCISD grew from approximately 16,000 students to 34,000 students.[8]
