Headquarters and Other Facilities
Its current headquarters is at 6010 Little York Road.
The previous district headquarters sustained damages in Tropical Storm Allison in 2001. The previous district headquarters had opened in 1964. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts stated that the 12,000-square-foot (1,100 m2) facility was destroyed as a result of the flood. Langstead Elementary, which had been constructed in 1968, was used as a temporary administration building.
In 2002 the district had no plans on where its headquarters may be. By 2003 NFISD planned to establish its new headquarters. The district considered a 250-acre (100 ha) plot of land across from North Forest High School's main campus (formerly M. B. Smiley High School) as a location for a new headquarters. Around 2003 the board approved construction of a new administration building. In October 2007 its headquarters were at 6010 Little York while its Office of Communications was located at Langstead.
The Jones-Cowart Stadium serves as the district's stadium for sporting events. It is located on the property of the former Smiley High School, now North Forest High School.
