Look Up
Wonder makes people look up at the stars. It turns dreamers into doers. It inspired Beethoven, Dalí and Lady Gaga. And it inspires us every day. We believe the world needs the next generation of great wonderers–those who delight in designing, creating, pushing boundaries. We are Tampa Prep. And we say, wonder on, and start right here on our downtown campus.
“I discovered ceramics through my senior year 3# Project. I’m a basketball player. I didn’t know I had this artistic side. It was really a big accident. I had no idea I’d love it this much. It’s therapeutic and calming. Someday I would like to have my own studio in my house where I can do this and maybe even sell it if people like what I do.”
– Gabe S. ’20, ceramicist
