A Message from Principal Saldaña!

What a fun and exciting week we had this week! I hope our students enjoyed their new schedules, especially their advocacy clubs!

As a friendly reminder, students did receive their report cards today. Please be sure to monitor your child’s progress and reach out to the teachers with any questions or concerns. We look forward to celebrating our Honor Roll students next week.

Lastly, please help us spread the word that MAGNET SEASON is upon us. We will begin our in-person tours next Thursday, November 17, 2022, at 1pm. Also, 8^th grade parents, the Saturday School Choice Fairs begin tomorrow at Austin High School (9am-12pm). You will be able to meet representatives from HISD High Schools at these fairs. Please see more information below about the Saturday fairs, Thursday tours and the deadlines for applications for the 2023-2024 school year. 

Enjoy your weekend!

Student of the week

Scarlett Sherlock

Our Hogg Student of the week is Scarlett Sherlock!

Scarlett exhibits the I.B. trait risk-taker. She is always willing to try new things. Scarlett believes she was chosen because she's always on board to help anyone. She is currently an office worker and she really enjoys it. The office enjoys having Scarlett, she's great!



Scarlett is a figure skater! She's is indeed a risk-\taker even on the ice. She looks up to Keegan Messing, a Canadian-American figure skater. He is also a risk-taker on the ice, at his age he still does some amazing stunts and is a nice person.

When Scarlett is not a school or in the rink she enjoys spending time with her two pups, Cooper and Axel. Her favorite memory since starting at Hogg would have to be making new friends.
