The school is named for James Stephen Hogg (1851-1906), the first native governor of Texas. Hogg was born near Rusk, Texas. His father was a lawyer and served as a brigadier general in the Civil War. Young James, following in his father's footsteps, left the plantation to attend law school. He began his career as a typesetter in Andrew Jackson's newspaper office in Rusk. As attorney general and, later, as governor, Hogg began the fight against "corporate control of Texas." He established the open records act that would "disclose every official act...to the end that everyone shall know that, in Texas, public office is the denter of public conscience, and that no graft, no crime, no public wrong, shall ever stain or corrupt our State."
