Principal's Message
“Don’t count the days; make the days count”.-Muhammad Ali
Dear Razorback Community,
Thank you for joining us in celebrating our exceptional counselor, Mrs. Mellman. Her compassionate heart and attentive ears are always ready to offer comfort and care to our staff and students.
As we enter the second week of February, we are dedicated to leading with kindness during National Kindness Week. Let us spread kindness through each thoughtful act.
On Wednesday, February 14th, Valentine's Day, our learners will have the opportunity to exchange cards and treats. For any inquiries about the number of students or the timing of the Valentine exchange, please reach out to your student's teacher.
On Thursday, February 15th, Logan's will be capturing photos, and campus uniforms are not required. Ensure your purchases are completed online or through order forms.
The week concludes with a spectacular Sweetheart Dance. (Details provided below.)
It's truly a wonderful time to be a RAZORBACK!
Proud Principal of Hogg New Tech,
Ms. Molina
