On August 11, 19 AFJROTC Bobcats woke up early and volunteered at a Homes for Our Troops community service event
The mission of Homes for Our Troops is “to build and donate specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9/11 veterans, to enable them to rebuild their lives.”
Our cadets helped set up, clean up, and run the powerful Key Ceremony, where a disabled veteran and his family were given the keys to their new home. It was an emotional and inspiring event.
We’re so proud of our Bobcats for their service and leadership! 🖤💛
🎉 Congratulations to Annika C, Pranay G, Shailey K, Evan R and Keith Z who have been named Semifinalists in the 2026 National Merit Scholarship Program!
This honor, awarded by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, recognizes fewer than 1% of high school seniors nationwide. We are so proud of their hard work, dedication, and achievement!
Go Bobcats!

Thank you to the team from UF Health that provided Stop the Bleed training for principals today. As with our recent training on reunifying families after a school crisis, today's session is another example of the district's commitment to the safety and well-being of students, families and staff.
