Trinity Valley School

At the end of the semester, students in the TVS Innovation & Entrepreneurship program transformed the classroom into a live business showcase inspired by Shark Tank.

After months of developing original business concepts, students presented their companies to a panel of judges — Dr. Ostroff, Dr. Ray, Mr. Sessa, and Mrs. Robinson — who evaluated both the strength of the business models and the effectiveness of each presentation.

Featured student-led companies included:
• GRIT — empowering young female athletes through confidence and community
• Grippy Grips — a fast, affordable golf club regripping service
• C&D Carwash — a mobile car wash serving Fort Worth
• Deck of All Trades — a lawn care and handyman service focused on reliability and versatility

Congratulations to Grippy Grips for being selected as the winning company of the showcase.

Beyond the competition, the event highlighted the true purpose of the course: preparing students to become confident communicators, innovative thinkers, and creative problem-solvers ready to lead with professionalism and purpose.

We are proud of every student who stepped forward to pitch their ideas with authenticity, confidence, and entrepreneurial spirit.
