Superintendent Dr. Anthony Mays’ Week Ahead – October 20, 2025

It is an exciting time of year with Early Voting season upon us. I encourage everyone to go out and perform their civic duties and make time to vote! Alief Central Office on 4250 Cook Rd is an early voting site and you can learn more about other available voting sites here if we are not the place for you to cast a ballot. Everyday educators walk into the classroom and work to support our society by educating a more informed population of voters who are literate, analytical, and capable of making informed decisions for themselves. We are focused on giving our students the tools they need to lead our country in the future. In the meanwhile, we have an important responsibility to fulfil until we pass the baton to our students!

Our Alief Proud celebration is just around the corner, and we thank our Family and Community Engagement, School Leadership, and Fine Arts Team for showcasing Alief’s amazing programs. This day is always a highlight for our community! We come together to fellowship, celebrate our students, and display our Alief pride. I hope everyone will find time to attend and enjoy the event!

As we increase the number of choice school opportunities, our families can take advantage of finding more information here about what is happening in Alief ISD. I am excited about this year! I am excited to “Be all in with Alief ISD”!
