Yearbook Tributes
As a tradition, the Tampa Prep yearbook, Talisman, provides a venue for parents to congratulate their graduating senior, the graduation of an 8th grader into the Upper School, or simply congratulate a son or daughter on their academic or athletic success. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are asking families to design their tributes at home using the Balfour AdBuilder. Tributes can be purchased, designed, and submitted online. It is as simple as visiting Balfour.com, creating an account, and designing your tribute!
We are asking that tributes be purchased by December 11 and finished designs be submitted by January 20.

Academic Support Counseling from a Distance
by Sarah Johnson, Academic Support Counselor
Tampa Prep Academic Support Counselors recognize that the School's new block and hybrid schedule--as well as this crazy year in general--brings many challenges. In response, school counselors have created several resources and videos for families and students in an effort to help new students adjust to Tampa Prep and help returning students adjust to the new schedule.
