Core Principles

The Terrapins athletic programs are part of the fabric of the Tampa Prep community. Athletics at Prep promote individual dignity, personal development and social interaction in a supportive and highly competitive environment.

The acronym TERPS is the mission of the Tampa Prep athletic program. It’s a promise to see the unlimited potential in every student-athlete. Every day. We are here to push them. Challenge them. Believe in them. And help them move the impossible into possible. We are Tampa Prep Terrapins, and our athletic program inspires the next great swimmers, ballers, runners and more.
