Student of the Week: Jackson Guyre!
|

"Jackson had open-heart surgery in November and [...] swam the 100[m] free[style] in the meet against FBMS [a few weeks ago]! He suffered a slight set-back and could not practice [that] week, but still wanted to be there to support his team. He won 2nd place, earning points for his team. What a courageous young man!"
Jackson Guyre, 8
th
grader at Hogg Middle School, is our student of the week because he exhibits the IB Learner Trait of RISK-TAKER! Jackson plays a variety of sports and is always trying to get better at what he does through taking many risks.
Jackson states, “I recently had open-heart surgery, so when I went to the hospital, I was really inspired by all the people around me who have it worse than I do.”
Jackson’s future educational plans include enrolling in St. Pius X High School. He would like to be a cardiac physical therapist and hopes to someday attend medical school. Jackson’s goals are to continue getting good grades and do well in school and sports. Once he is in high school, he plans to do well in his classes have a good GPA. In his spare time, Jackson likes to play soccer, run track, swim and play video games. He also believes that spending time with his family is important. Jackson is an avid reader who likes to read action and suspense books.

Staff of the Week: Mr. Williford!
|
|
Mr. Williford, 6
th
grade World Cultures teacher at Hogg Middle School, is our Staff of the Week because he exhibits the IB Learner Trait of PRINCIPLED! Mr. Williford is married and has two dogs. He is proud to say he is a native Houstonian!
Mr. Williford believes he was chosen as PRINCIPLED because he fears he might let others down, and would like to make sure he is doing a good job. He is inspired by seeing his students learn things. He feels honored to get to experience his students learning.
Mr. Williford studied architecture at Texas Tech and realized he wanted to be a teacher and refocused on his schooling. He then attended the University of Texas at Arlington. He feels he “thrives in chaos” which is why he loves teaching.
Mr. Williford has been a Razorback for 5 years and has loved every minute of it. He especially loves Hogg’s history and the students. He states the neighborhood is turning into something special. His goals are to someday be nominated for “Teacher of the Year”, but, realistically, he just wants to be a “better effective teacher.”
Mr. Williford’s hobbies include drawing, reading, playing boards games. He likes the creativity and aspect of those activities.
