Principal's Message

"Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education." —Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dear Razorback Community,

It was a delightful experience welcoming back our learners for the 2024 Spring Semester. Our staff and learners seamlessly resumed their routines, and we were thrilled to recognize our January Razorbacks of the Month.

On Monday, January 8th, our SBDM committee convened to discuss current campus data, staffing reports, upcoming renovations, and allocation of funds for next year's afterschool program.

During our meeting with Associate Superintendent Dr. Ramirez on January 9th, he praised our students and staff for maintaining a productive learning environment. Additionally, he acknowledged our learners' ability to articulate their goals and present their data effectively.

This week marked the commencement of our goal to provide authentic learning experiences beyond the classroom. Our Prek department kicked off the initiative with a visit to the Environmental Center, where they encountered a diverse array of animals.

We are eagerly anticipating another successful week at Hogg New Tech.

Proud Principal of Hogg New Tech,

Ms. Molina
