The Sterling Ridge Village Association Board is honored to announce the renaming of its scholarship fund for high school graduates. Going forward, this initiative will be known as the Natalia Arjona Scholarship Program, in tribute to our cherished board member and community leader.
Natalia Arjona dedicated over a decade of service to our board and was a guiding presence in Sterling Ridge—often affectionately called the “mayor” of our village. Her recent passing left a profound void, and her leadership, warmth, and unwavering commitment to our community will be deeply missed.
Through this renamed scholarship program, we proudly carry forward Natalia’s legacy of championing education and opportunity for the next generation.
The Sterling Ridge Village Association Board is proud to announce that it recently made another annual donation of $2,500 to each of the elementary schools serving our community. Principals and representatives from Deretchin Elementary, Ellisor Elementary, and Coulson Tough Elementary attended our monthly meeting to share how they used their past donations and where they will be able to apply this new funding in the coming months.
The SRVA raises funds through generous sponsorships for the events it holds, including its annual Kid’s Fishing Festival, Kid’s Festival and Golf Classic. Our mission is to serve the community and we love to help our young students have the best educational opportunities possible. We have to thank all our sponsors for their support Sponsors — Sterling Ridge Village Association.

The Woodlands is comprised of eight villages: Grogan’s Mill, Panther Creek, Indian Springs, Cochran’s Crossing, Alden Bridge, Sterling Ridge, College Park, and Creekside Park. Each village has its own village association and each resident becomes a member of their village’s association.
The village associations are 501c(4) nonprofit organizations with a board elected by the village residents. Each village association has its own set of bylaws, each holds monthly meetings open to residents, and each plan projects that benefit the community.
The primary function of the associations is to IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN EACH COMMUNITY. THEY serve as a liaison between the residents of the villages and various local, county, and state governing bodies. The associations represent membership in important community issues and at times prepare and adopt resolutions. The association board directs residents to the appropriate channel for question and issue resolution. Residents always have an opportunity to comment or ask questions at any monthly board meeting they attend.
The village associations work hard to serve the residents of the village. Please attend the board’s monthly meetings and consider submitting an application to join your village’s board and get more involved in the community, stay informed, and meet your neighbors at events!
