With its focus on discipline, teamwork, and personal growth, the AFJROTC is a great choice for any student seeking to enhance their high school experience.

Established in 1963 as an Air Force ‘Founder Unit’ the Florida Prep program has a long history of excellence and is recognized as a ‘Distinguished Unit’ identifying it as one of the top AFJROTC units in the United States. This distinction speaks to the quality of the program and the dedication of the current instructors, who between them have a combined 46 years of military service in the U.S. Airforce.

One of the key benefits of participating in a JROTC program is the development of leadership skills. Students have the opportunity to work with a team of their peers to complete projects and activities, take on leadership roles, and learn how to motivate and guide others. This experience is especially valuable in today's fast-paced and ever-changing world, where strong leaders are in high demand.

AFJROTC also exposes students to a wide range of activities and experiences. This includes physical fitness activities, as well as community service opportunities, and educational trips. Together they provide students with a well-rounded education and help to develop skills and interests that students may not otherwise have had the opportunity to explore.

Through the program, JROTC students also develop a sense of pride and patriotism. Through its focus on citizenship, respect, and responsibility, students learn the importance of serving their country and communities and develop a strong sense of purpose and commitment. This can be a life-changing experience for many students; particularly those from outside the United States, as it helps them to discover their own values and goals, and sets them on a path towards future success.

Overall, the AFJROTC at Florida Prep is a program that provides students with a wealth of opportunities to grow and succeed.

Whether students are looking to develop their leadership skills, gain valuable life experience, or make a positive impact in their community, AFJROTC is an excellent choice for students looking to enhance their high school experience.
