Over 550 teachers from Alief ISD received Teacher Incentive Allotment designations at Smith Elementary on Stancliff Road. This has brought in a lot of money that will help students do well and keep teachers. In April 2026, the campus held a fun event to get kids ready for Pre-K. Families could meet the leaders right away and join the "Smith Dinos" community. The Taste of Alief festival is a parade that celebrates the many different cultures in the Alief area. Students and their families are also getting ready for it.
