Principal's Message
Freedom is never free. -Unknown
Dear Hogg Community,
I would like to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the courageous individuals who have dedicated themselves to serving our nation. As the daughter of a proud Marine soldier, I understand that your commitment to our country goes beyond the call of duty. It is deeply rooted in your unwavering dedication to safeguarding the ones you love and the bright future they aspire to achieve. We acknowledge that freedom comes at a price, and we extend our sincerest thanks for bearing that cost to ensure our liberty.
Parents, we are just 9 days away from Thanksgiving Break, and I encourage you to stay resilient. It brings us great joy to witness our students engaging in various learning activities on a daily basis.
To the entire Hogg community, we are immensely grateful for your continuous support and valuable feedback.
Warm regards,
Ms. Molina
