LOCAL INSIDER

NAME: MORELLA TAPIA, Assistant Principal at Valley Oaks
Elementary, 7 years

YEARS LIvED IN AREA: I’ve lived here for 31 years.

WHAT DO YOU LOvE? I love Spring Branch because we have everything here: great food, shopping, places to take kids and the
best school district in Houston!

WHAT DO YOU THINK COULD MAKE IT BETTER? I would love to see more
green spaces, places to run, more parks.
BIGGEST CHANGES YOU’vE SEEN? I’ve seen lots of growth and development, e.g., CityCentre, Gateway Memorial City, Village
Plaza.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU MISS? I think all of the changes have been
nice, so off of the top of my head I can’t think of anything.
