We have a lot of reasons for gratitude as we look back on the 2019-20 school year. The beginning of the year started strong with concerts, engaging units of study, field trips, sports and more. But the end of the year finished strong in as well with teachers discovering new ways to build and sustain connections.

Voters in the Tampa Bay Times "Best of the Best" readers' poll showed their support for Corbett Prep in the 2020 contest. Corbett Prep was honored in two categories: Gold (Best Private Elementary/Middle School) and Bronze (Best Preschool).

Corbett Prep art teachers brought the school's annual art show into students' homes. The work displayed in our first Virtual Art Show was curated from classes during the first and second trimesters and reflects students' study of world art in the 2019-20 school year.

We found new ways to preserve beloved traditions, reimagined how learning could look outside of the classroom and delighted in rare chances to say hello in person. As we say goodbye to our eighth graders and look ahead to new opportunities, we leave you with this positive reminder from our Middle School Thespians.
