Nederland Independent School District is a public school district based in Nederland, Texas (USA).

Contents

Originally organized in 1920, the Nederland Independent School District has served the community for 100 years. The first school was built on grounds donated by Mr. Bluitt Langham, which is located at the current playground of Langham Elementary. A new school was built in the 1930s at the location of the current Alternative campus to accommodate the influx of students. This building was to become the high school until the 1970s. [3] In addition to Nederland, the district also serves most of Beauxart Gardens and Central Gardens and portions of Port Neches and Port Arthur. [4]

In 2019, the school district was rated "A" by the Texas Education Agency. [5]

History

The precursors of the school district began as a series of single or two room schoolhouses formed to educate the children of the Dutch families that founded and moved into Nederland. The earliest known school room was started in 1898 as a one-room school houses that was built behind the old Orange hotel on Boston Avenue, with several children attending. As the city population grew, there were additional schools built at the corner of 10th st and Chicago and also at the Dutch Reformed Church. These early schools did not have full accreditation and were equivalent to a junior high education. A two-story school was built in 1912 on the land of Mr. Bluitt Langham, and the Nederland Independent School district was organized by Jefferson County in 1920. [6]

Dress code

In January 2008 the district adopted a new dress code rule effective fall 2008. Students in grades 5 through 12 are required to wear solid color shirts with no logo or Nederland bulldog shirts. Trousers may be blue, navy, black, denim, or khaki. Skirts or jumpers may be khaki, navy, black, or denim. [7]

Facilities

All of the schools are in the City of Nederland. The district consists of four elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school and one alternative campus. The District also maintains a separate Administration building with maintenance and bus facilities on that site, a Performing Arts Theater located on the High School campus and Bulldog Stadium, which is located on the campus of Central Middle School.

2019 bond

In May 2019 voters approved a $155 million bond issue to improve facilities at all campuses. [8] [9] This bond includes:

Nederland High School (grades 9–12)

The current high school was built in 1971 and is located at 2101 18th Street. The campus was rated as an overall "A" by the Texas Education Agency for 2019. [10] The principal is Natalie Gomez.
