An Update from Superintendent Dr. Anthony Mays |

October is National Principals Month, so thanks to our principals for their leadership and support of our teachers and students! A principal plays a critical role in equipping the campus team with the tools and environment needed for success. Principals are uniquely positioned to work with our communities and families to provide support as we shape the minds of our future leaders. Principals serve as the tip of the spear in charting the course for teaching and learning. We are grateful for our principals pouring into our campuses daily. Nothing great happens for students or teachers without their awesome leadership. Thanks to each and every principal for picking up the baton and leading here in Alief ISD!
