About Mabel Hoggard

The school continues to use the Mabel Hoggard Math and Science Magnet School name. CCSD’s current Magnet catalog lists it as Mabel Hoggard STEA³M Magnet School under STEM and STEAM themes.

School materials describe science, mathematics, and technology woven into daily instruction. They also mention hands-on learning through labs, gardens, robotics, and other enrichment experiences. Specific offerings may change, so ask how they currently appear across grade levels.

This is a full-magnet campus, not a conventional zoned neighborhood school that simply uses a STEM or STEAM label.
