2026 Tampa Prep Graduation Program

50th Annual Commencement

2026 MONDAY, JUNE 1 DAVID A. STRAZ, JR. CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS TAMPA, FLORIDA

a place to... think Where a rigorous grounding in skills and knowledge is just the beginning – where teachers and students share inquiry, reflection and analysis on the path to personal understanding.

create Where people celebrate the imagination in geometric proofs and formal essays, on canvas, computer and stage, in poetry readings and morning assemblies.

be yourself Where people respect differences and can find their place in a diverse community.

aspire to excellence Where students develop winning attitudes in academics, athletics and arts.

go beyond Where Florida Keys, North Carolina mountains, museums, concert halls and community service become classrooms that foster deeper understandings of one’s self, others and the world.

more than just a college preparatory school... a preparation for life with a higher purpose than self
