Atkins High School Sophomore Madison Johnson was one of only 100 high schoolers in the nation selected for the 2026 Disney Dreamers Academy. During this multi-day event, she attended sessions with leading professionals in industries ranging from healthcare to entertainment to marketing, filmed professional video productions in Hollywood Studios, and spent time with celebrities like WNBA Star A'ja Wilson and Painter Nikkolas Smith.
An aspiring engineer, Johnson says that attending Atkins has not only boosted her skills with science and math, but also taught her to be more confident in her abilities and ambitions. Participating in Disney Dreamers Academy was an extension of that confidence, and with this once-in-a-lifetime experience under her belt, she's more determined than ever to be successful in life.
"I really feel like I brought back more confidence with me," Johnson said. "You just really have to put in the work so that you can achieve your dreams."
