Welcome from the PTA President

Hello Hogg Families,

We’re off to a fantastic start, and now’s the perfect time to jump in and get involved! Volunteering at Hogg is one of the best ways to support our students, connect with other families, and make our community shine. Whether you can give a little time or a lot, every effort counts.

Save the Date: Our first Auction Committee Meeting is this Friday, August 22nd at 8:45 a.m.. This is a great chance to learn how you can help with one of our biggest events of the year. Email auction@hoggpta.org for more info and see details below!

Get VIPS Approved: All volunteers must complete HISD’s Volunteers in Public Schools clearance before helping on campus. Get VIPS approved here!

Stay Connected: Join the Hogg Volunteer WhatsApp group to hear about volunteer opportunities in real time. It’s an easy way to plug in and stay in the loop. Join here!

Thank you for stepping up to be part of our amazing community. Together, we make Hogg stronger every day!

The Hogg PTA uses the platform Membership Toolkit - if you had a Hogg student last year, or have used the platform at another school all you'll need to do is update your information. If this is your first year at Hogg and you haven't used Membership Toolkit before, please CREATE AN ACCOUNT. This will ensure that you are on our newsletter distribution list so you don't miss out on important PTA updates and you'll have full access to event registration, volunteer opportunities and more!
