Principal's Message
“The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows” – Sydney J. Harris
Dear Razorback Community,
Can you believe we're already wrapping up the month of January? This week brought joy as we welcomed parents into the building for parent conferences and the Razorback Lunch Bunch. Our learners were thrilled to share lunch with their favorite people. The January STEAM clubs lived up to expectations, showcasing everything from flashy beaded bracelets to impressive Chinese New Year's Dragons.
Monday and Saturday tutoring had a fantastic start, and we extend our gratitude to parents for partnering with our staff to ensure the overall success of their students.
As we transition into February, parents, please stay tuned to our communication forums (Class Dojo, Twitter (X), Facebook, and student bags) for ongoing updates. We're eagerly anticipating the celebration of our January Razorbacks of the Month on Wednesday, along with the exciting milestone of the 100th day of school!
Proud Principal of Hogg New Tech,
Ms. Molina
