Hogg Middle School students have been reading, writing and dreaming since 1926.  Beginning in 2015, Hogg students celebrate becoming published authors, artists and designers on Literacy Night, a night that also features crafts, activities and interactive stations.  Each year Hogg has a community reading experience called One Book One School and invites the author.  Every student receives the same book extending that year's theme and programming into a year-long adventure.  Theme, authors and books are listed below:
