Students of Lakes of Bella Terra are beginning to attend a brand new high school in Lamar Consolidated Independent School District.

The first graduating class will be the Class of 2019.

Voters approved the schools in the 2011 bond election to help meet the educational needs of the Districts growing northern area. Fulshear High School is the fifth addition to high schools in the Lamar Consolidated ISD and the first high school located in Fulshear.

The school received its name after Churchill Fulshear Jr. son of Churchill Fulshear, a war veteran who played a role in the Texas Revolution and fought at San Jacinto and was granted the land we now call Fulshear, Texas.

Danny Ward is the first principal at Fulshear High School after six years as the principal at Taylor High School. His career includes serving as principal at a middle school and an elementary in Taylor and as a principal and assistant principal in Irving ISD.

Public transportation is provided from Lakes of Bella Terra to both Foster High School and Fulshear High School, with an equal commute time. Fulshear High School is located off of FM 1093, only seven miles west of Lakes of Bella Terra.

Schools in Lamar CISD are designed with smaller enrollments (high schools are capped at 2,000 students) to provide more opportunities for students. Lamar CISD is one of only 44 school systems in the entire state to achieve the 5-Star rating, indicating strong academic progress and low spending.
