Hogg sits on prime real estate near Methodist Dallas Medical Center and has a perfect view of the Dallas skyline. It’s one of the only schools in Dallas that still has its gym in a portable building, and it is slated for a new gym building under the recent DISD bond plan.

It has a federally funded Head Start pre-k program that serves children ages 6 weeks to 4 years old, making it the first public school in Texas with such a program for children that young.

Hogg offers three specialneeds classrooms for students with intellectual disabilities or autism. And it’s one of one of nine campuses within DISD’s Regional School for the Deaf, with two classrooms for 18 hearingimpaired students.

Principal Casco also is working with the school district’s information technology department to offer students wifi at home. By the end of this year, he hopes to make every fifth-grader’s house a wifi hotspot.

“Learning doesn’t happen just within these walls,” he says. “It happens everywhere, all the time.”
