Noncompliance = student cannot come to school. Please ensure your child’s vaccination records are up-to-date.

Wear mask over the mouth AND nose.
Wash/disinfect hands for at least 30 seconds with soap or sanitizer.

Student of the Week

Bianca Landa

by Marley Hill

Our Hogg 8th grade student of the week and native Houstonian is Bianca Landa! She exhibits the I.B. trait of Balanced. She believes she was chosen for student of the week because she is a very nice person who works hard for the things she wants.

The thing Bianca loves most about Hogg is seeing her friends and people she likes. At home she enjoys playing with her dog, helping her mom, and playing with her siblings. Her goal for this year is to pass with good grades.

Staff of the Week

Mr. Hayden

by Marley Hill

Our Hogg staff member of the week is Mr. Hayden! He exhibits the I.B. trait of Open-Minded. Mr. Hayden, an 8th grade history teacher, thinks he was chosen because he is a great listener to his students and his peers. He tries to learn from the people around him whether it be a student or a staff member.

He is from St. Louis and enjoys spending time with his family. He also enjoys fishing. “I think my inspiration would have to be my wife and kids,” he says.

Being a new teacher at Hogg, one of his favorite memories is the day he started and how everyone was very welcoming and kind. His main goal this year is to make sure all of his students pass the STAAR.
