She says that she always tries to help people when they are down and comfort people when they need it most. Alessandra was born in Australia but has lived in Houston for most of her life. She enjoys skateboarding, playing basketball, and soccer. Needless to say she was very surprised at first when she heard she was student of the week. If you know Alessandra, please give a big congratulations!

Ms. Singleton has been with Hogg for the last four years. During that time she has endeared herself to the Hogg Community through her steadfast, calm, and kind demeanor. Her dedication to providing assistance to students, families, faculty, staff and the Heights Community has fostered trusted connections and relationships that will be sorely missed. We appreciate the time she devoted to Hogg and wish all the best for her in her next adventure. You can still reach Ms. Singleton at her email address [email protected]

Ms. Hernandez will be replacing Ms. Singleton starting, Monday, December 6th. She attended Hogg as a middle schooler, so she's already a part of our Razorback Family. It will take some time to reestablish her roots, so be sure to welcome her when you see her! |
