Alief Cummings Elementary School

Alief Cummings Elementary School About
Alief ISD is a high performing, comprehensive K-12 public school district. Robert D. "Bob" was born on May 9th, 1921 in Toronto, Canada. Mr. Mrs. and Helen L.

Cummings was a dedicated citizen, who, along with his family, has devoted many years of service to the Alief schools and the Alief community. The family moved to Ft. Wayne, Indiana when Bob was 12 years old where he received his formal education. He served in World War II in the Eighth Army Air Force. Cummings was instrumental in organizing the Alief Chamber of Commerce and the Alief Community Fir

e Department. He has served in the field of education on the local, state, and national levels. He was a member of the AISD Board of Trustees since 1970 and has held several offices, including the presidency. In 1981, he was appointed by the Chairman of the Texas Board of education to serve on a committee doing a comprehensive study on curriculum, vocational education, teacher competency testing, and finance. He was also a member of the Board of Trustees for the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). He served on the TASB state committee for the Worker's Compensation Self-Insurance Fund. From 1981 to 1983, he was president of the Gulf Coast Area Association of School Boards and served as co-chairman of that organization's legislative committee. He was also a member of the Texas Federal Relations Network which required trips yearly to Washington, D.C. In addition, he served on the Texas Board of Education for 3 years (1989-1992). Cummings worked as a manufacturer's representative and consultant. He died on November 22, 1992 from a massive heart attack. Cummings is an active supporter of our school. She is involved in a variety of community organizations, and continues to serve Alief students and community members in a variety of ways. In 2006 the school was renamed "Robert D. Cummings Elementary School", as a way of honoring Helen Cummings for her contributions. A rededication ceremony was held, and Mrs. Cummings' name was officially added. Portraits of both Robert and Helen Cummings hang in our school entryway. Cummings continues to attend special events, and is an active part of life here at Cummings Elementary School.
