Alief ISD Winter 2024

PREGAME

Happy Holidays, Alief ISD

I am elated that we are welcoming another addition of Vype magazine. Our inaugural magazine, which debuted this fall, was one for the record books. Our students, staff, stakeholders, and community were excited, elated, and engaged in what is going on in our district. We are so thankful for Vype for this partnership which allows us to showcase the talents of our amazing students that participate in so many activities. But on top of that, you tell the stories of how our students have persevered, and how they always put academics first. We know that this magazine can be used as a tool, to allow our students to gain scholarships, and to prepare them for the life that they know they deserve. As your superintendent, I am eternally grateful for every opportunity that we have to work with businesses, locally, state wide and nationally, to ensure that the world knows of the greatness of Alief ISD. It’s no secret that we have had some amazing athletes and Fine Arts students that come through this district. The history is rich, and Alief ISD and many of these students have not only gone on to perform on the national level, but they also give back to our district and to our community. And that’s what it’s all about. Giving back.

I hope that when you turn the pages of this magazine ,that you see yourselves in the eyes of the students, but also the great opportunities that we provide our current and future students in Alief ISD. Their goals and desires are to be better than themselves and to give back to the community that has given so much to them. They motivate me, and I hope that their stories and their journey to adulthood inspires you as well. So once again, thank you for being a part of our Alief ISD family. I wish you all the best, please continue to support all of our student athletes and Fine Arts students, follow us on social media and as always, we are Alief proud!

Best Regards, Dr. Anthony Mays Superintendent of Schools
