Following a run to the Chipotle Nationals semifinals last season,
Prolific Prep (Napa, Calif.) announced Thursday it would be relocating its campus to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in an unprecedented move.
The announcement comes after spending the past 11 years in Napa Valley, Calif., where Prolific Prep has emerged as a national powerhouse. The Crew have finished ranked in the top 10 nationally in each of the past six seasons.

"We're building something special in Fort Lauderdale and I'm proud to lead this next chapter of Prolific Prep."
Prolific Prep will begin classes in Fort Lauderdale this fall.
