Mrs. Maya Franchi

8th Grade Assistant Principal

Hi Bears! 
My name is Maya Franchi and I have been in education since 2005. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications and a Master’s Degree in School Counseling. My entire educational career has been at Spring Branch ISD. I taught middle school for 10 years, then went to the Multilingual Department for 4 years, and now I’m starting year 3 at SBMS as the 8th grade principal. I feel very lucky to have seen my group of 6th graders grow and flourish into 8th graders. It makes me super proud!

On a personal note, I have two children, one is a graduate from Memorial High School and currently attends Texas State University and I have a daughter in 1st grade at Meadow Wood Elementary. I love to travel, run and dance whenever I can. 

Here is to a great school year!
