As a Director of College Counseling and an academic dean, the reputation of graduates of Academy Prep Center of Tampa is exceptional. Not only to they gain entrance to the best 9-12 schools in the Tampa area, they excel and those schools and beyond. They live their mission and become leaders in their community because their intrinsic natures are nurtured and empowered by a community of educators who care deeply about their students and who push their students to become even better versions of themselves. Their intellects and character are nurtured. They are shown and reminded that they can be anything they strive to be. Darryl Calkins, Co-Director of College Counseling and Academic Dean
