55 Seconds Of Academy PrepScouting for Fun at Academy Prep Center of Tampa

Judge Chris Altenbernd has been active with the Boy Scouts of America "forever," he says, but this is his first time as Scoutmaster. He leads Troop 100 at Academy Prep in Tampa, with help from Assistant Scoutmaster Rocky Milburn. The troop began last October with the 5th grade boys. This year, the core group will be in the 6th grade, and they will welcome in a new group of 5th graders. Click Here to read more of 55 Seconds of Academy Prep

 Thank you to our 8th Grade Community Partners!

Mataldi Morris delivers his opening remarks for Mock Trial.


We had several work-based learning classes for our 8th grade through the support of Community Partners Ogden and Sullivan Law Firm, St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital, and Capital One Auto Finance.

Through this interaction the students learned problem-solving, decision-making applications, hands-on work experience, job skills, and career opportunities.

Boy Scout Troop 100 Heads to the Woods

Did you know that Academy Prep’s Boy Scout Troop 100 is lead by the Honorable Chris Altenbernd and other volunteers the Judge has recruited? The troop meets every Tuesday working on projects to reach the rank of Second Class.

The troop spent a full Saturday exploring Croom Trail north of Tampa. The hike was a requirement to reach the rank of Second Class and the boys even prepared a meal together.

Judge Altenbernd shared these thoughts…

“The young men in Troop 100 are model scouts, and the troop has been a wonderful experience for them and for the adult leaders. If these Fifth Grade scouts can stay in the troop through Eighth Grade, I think many of them will reach the highest rank, Eagle, and develop leadership skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives.”


Thank you to the great leaders of Troop 100!
