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
