Uplift Crescendo Preparatory is part of Uplift Education, the largest charter school network in North Texas. Our beautiful campus is located on Cooks Lane at I-30 in east Fort Worth and was built to allow more students to attend nearby, nationally-recognized Uplift Summit International for middle school and high school (Uplift Crescendo students receive automatic admission in the 6th grade to Uplift Summit). We are proud of our small school feel and tight-knit community of families.

This evening our scholars of Uplift Crescendo and Uplift Summit performed for the BHM Showcase. Scholars performed cheer routines, throwback dances, recited poems, and praise dance. We also celebrated the announcement of our HBCU King and Queen and enjoyed a Divine 9 stroll-off with our very own Director Aldridge and her sorority sisters. To our families, thank you for attending and supporting our scholars. To our wonderful teachers and staff who worked tirelessly after school with these amazing performers and helped set up this evening—thank you. And to our scholars: you are incredible, and tonight you showed just how talented, confident, and powerful you are. Events like this remind us how important it is to celebrate culture, history, and community together. Your energy, pride, and dedication made this showcase truly special. Please take a moment to watch the 50+ minute highlight video edited by our FEC and relive the amazing performances from tonight. Thank you all for making this evening unforgettable! 🎉
