THURSDAY, MAY 29
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.
Where students develop winning attitudes in academics, athletics
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
