Principal's Message
“If there is no struggle, there is no progress.”-Frederick Douglass
Dear Razorback Community,
As we embrace the first full week of February, we eagerly anticipate celebrating our outstanding school counselor, Mrs. Mellman, in honor of National Counselor’s Week. Also, our fifth-grade students will have the opportunity to engage with the counseling team from Hector P. Garcia to discuss 6th-grade scheduling.
This Thursday, our 3rd to 5th-grade students will participate in a STAAR field exam. It's important to note that this exam will not impact students' academic records. We kindly request that students ensure they are well-rested and arrive on time for the exam.
We extend our appreciation to parents for contributing to the improvement of our attendance rate this week.
Here's to another fantastic week at Hogg New Tech!
Proud Principal of Hogg New Tech,
Ms. Molina
