Principal's Message

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. –Franklin D. Roosevelt

Dear Razorback Community,

Time continues to swiftly pass us by! As we bid farewell to February, we anticipate that March will unfold with its unique rhythm. Our students from kindergarten through 3rd grade showcased commendable efforts during the TELPAS testing, a testament to their dedication. Assistant Principal Grimaldo, with her meticulous approach to testing, ensured that our students were provided with optimal conditions for success.

The Unbound Art Exhibit proved to be a captivating experience! Our learners demonstrated an exceptional ability to channel the creativity of artist Judith Scott. Librarian Ericson skillfully intertwined literacy, the theme of inclusiveness, and the art of self-expression, enriching our community's understanding.

The Razorback Lunch Bunch, as always, was a delightful gathering that never fails to bring joy when parents join us on campus.

As we conclude Black History Month, we are excited to announce an art contest this week! Please stay tuned for more information from your learner's teacher. A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Jones and our HNT Multicultural Committee for guiding us on a journey of acknowledging and appreciating African American works of art. The morning trivia has indeed kept us on our toes!

Parents, we will be continuing TELPAS testing this week on Tuesday and Wednesday. With only ten days until SPRING BREAK, we kindly ask for your assistance in achieving our attendance goal of 97%.

Wishing everyone an inspiring week at Hogg New Tech, The Home of the Razorbacks!

Proud Principal of Hogg New Tech,

Ms. Molina
