Principal's Message

"The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.” – B.B. King

Dear Hogg Community,

Thank you for your continued support of our learning community as we enter the fourth week of the school year. September brings forth a multitude of exciting events on campus. Our teachers are getting ready to launch various clubs, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates in the upcoming week.

Parents, we want to inform you that we will be conducting assessments for students in 1st, 2nd, and 5th grades. It's crucial that our young learners get a good night's rest and arrive at school punctually on testing days to ensure their success. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for entrusting us with the education and well-being of your children.
