AFJROTC at Florida Prep
“The Florida Prep AFJROTC Program is inclusive; it provides a place for every student. The sense of belonging for the cadets is like a family. There are many incentives to work hard and excel.”
The mission of AFJROTC is to "Develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community."
The Florida Prep Air Force Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (AFJROTC) is a citizenship training program designed to educate and train high school cadets in citizenship, promote community service, instill personal responsibility, character, and self-discipline.
