Welcome from the PTA President

Welcome Back, Hogg Families!

We’re off to an amazing start to the school year, and we want to send a HUGE thank you to everyone who came out for our Hogg Clean-Up Day last weekend—your hard work made our campus shine! We are also grateful to all the parents who joined us for our Welcome Back Coffee . It was wonderful to connect and kick off the year together!

As we dive into the weeks ahead, we would love for every family to be part of the Hogg PTA. Your membership helps fund programs, events, and resources that directly benefit our students and staff.

Join the PTA today – it’s quick, easy, and makes a difference! Join here!
Get VIPS approved – all volunteers must complete HISD’s Volunteers in Public Schools clearance before helping on campus. Get approved here!

Let’s make this the best school year yet—together!

With Razorback Pride,

Andrea French
President, Hogg Middle School PTA
