North Garland High School enrolls students in grades 9-12 and is a part of the Garland Independent School District.

North Garland's school colors were chosen by selecting one color from the two high schools Garland High School and South Garland High School. On the opening of the school on 1971, The students had a choice between a French Raider Sam and a Western Raider Sam. The drill team, assuming the French Raider Sam was going to receive the popular vote, selected their names to be the Mam'selles and La'Petites to match the French theme. When the results were in, the Western Raider Sam received the popular vote, which is why the names of the drill team do not correlate with the current mascot.
