Hoggard High School is such a fun high school to attend. Athletics at Hoggard are always exciting and Friday night football games are a highlight of the week. Teachers are very kind and there are so many resources available to students.

I have had an overall positive high school experience while attending Hoggard. I am very grateful for their prioritizing my preparation for college. I also am extremely grateful for the teachers and coaches that have worked with me through the years to better myself and my future. I would love to see some change in the math department. I feel that some of the teachers only know one way to teach and explain a topic. I think that they could help more students if they are able to teach in different ways. I also would love to see more structure within the FLEX period. I feel that FLEX could be used in a productive way for both teachers and students.

Over the last 4 years being a Viking has been an amazing experience. I have been a part of the Cross County and track team. I have worked with the yearbook.
