Trinity Basin Preparatory (TBP) officially opened the doors to its new Tyler Street campus with a Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening celebration last week.
Hosted in partnership with Butler-Cohen and the Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce, this milestone event signified more than just the launch of a school building—it marked a deeper investment in the future of education and community development in Oak Cliff.
More than 550 attendees—including current TBP families, prospective families, community members, local businesses, and TBP staff—joined in the celebration.
Throughout the day, families explored model classrooms showcasing TBP’s student-focused learning environments. Over 30 vendors added to the lively atmosphere, including the Dallas Fire and Police Departments, HMH Medical, Harmony Bank, the Perot Museum, Levine Peter Piper Pizza, and many more.
The event also featured family-friendly attractions such as free haircuts provided by Hairmosa Beauty Academy and Texas Fadez Barber School. Special appearances by the Dallas Mavericks’ mascot MavsMan and the Dallas Cowboys’ mascot Rowdy delighted young attendees and added an extra spark to the festivities.
“We’re thrilled with the turnout and the enthusiasm from our families and community partners,” said TBP Superintendent Randy Shaffer. “This event reflects our mission to serve and grow alongside the communities we’re part of. We look forward to building on this momentum to reach even more students and families.”
As the ribbon is cut and the doors officially open, Trinity Basin Preparatory’ s commitment to student success and community progress continues to flourish—right in the heart of Oak Cliff.
The Tyler Street campus is now officially open and actively enrolling students for the 2025–26 school year. Families interested in joining the TBP community are encouraged to apply soon, as interest continues to grow. Visit trinitybasin.com/learn to learn more about TBP.
