Leadership
Bianca DeForest, JD
Founder & Head of School
Florida Coastal Prep School was founded and is led by Bianca DeForest, JD. An attorney and a Judge Advocate General (JAG) officer in the United States Air Force, Bianca brings a background of discipline, service, and integrity to the school she built.
Her vision is a small, Christ-centered college preparatory school where students from Fort Walton Beach and the surrounding Emerald Coast are known personally and prepared academically, spiritually, and personally for college and the calling beyond it.
Under her leadership, FCPS emphasizes strong academics, biblical truth, personal responsibility, and clear guidance — with a focus on leadership, character, and preparation for college and future success.
