to our guests,
Welcome to the 2026 Tampa Prep Gala!
We are thrilled to welcome you to an evening celebrating the vibrant spirit of the Tampa Prep community—our students, parents, grandparents, faculty, and staff—whose passion and commitment make our school extraordinary.
Your generosity and support fuel our mission to inspire students to Think, Create, Be Themselves, Aspire to Excellence, and Go Beyond. As our students grow from curious learners into confident young adults, your partnership helps open doors, expand opportunities, and empower them to reach their highest potential.
Thank you for entrusting us with your children and for being such an integral part of the Tampa Prep family. Tonight, we celebrate all that we have accomplished together and look ahead with excitement to continued growth, achievement, and community!
