🦅 Soaring with Eagle Spirit

At Northlake, pride runs deep in maroon and white! Home to the Northlake Eagles, our campus thrives on a strong sense of community, family partnership, and neighborhood tradition. Whether we are cheering on our student clubs, celebrating schoolwide theme days, or coming together for PTA events, our Eagle spirit creates a warm, encouraging environment where every child feels known, valued, and empowered to succeed.

📜 Rich History & Heritage

Northlake’s roots date back to 1974, with our doors officially opening to students in 1975. Named for our geographic location just north of Lake Ray Hubbard, Northlake was established to serve local neighborhood families with dedicated care. Originally starting with the "Knight" mascot before proudly becoming the Eagles, Northlake has spent over five decades fostering generations of lifelong learners.
