Principal's Message
“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dear Razorback Community,
I trust you all had an invigorating spring break, filled with adventure and memorable experiences. It's delightful to see that the spring weather lived up to its promise, offering us refreshing moments and opportunities to embrace the season's spirit.
As we embark on the final nine weeks of the school year, our dedicated staff remains committed to delivering high-quality instruction and meticulously planning exciting end-of-year events.
For parents whose children have end-of-year assessments scheduled in April, please remember that regular attendance plays a significant role in our students' academic achievements. Every day counts towards their progress and success, so let's ensure they are present and engaged.
We eagerly anticipate welcoming everyone back on Monday morning, ready to dive back into the enriching learning environment here at Hogg New Tech, The Home of the Razorbacks. May this week be filled with inspiration and fulfillment for all.
Proud Principal of Hogg New Tech,
Ms. Molina
