Five Houston area students will be joining a once-in-a-lifetime mentoring program at Walt Disney Resort this Spring.

100 high school students across America were recently selected to Walt Disney's 2025 class of Disney Dreamers Academy that will take place in March in Florida.

 

The program, meant to inspire students from diverse communities, allows students to chase dreams in the technology development space, addressing food insecurity and designing Disney next attractions, a press release details.

 

"We are thrilled to spark new possibilities and provide these future leaders with the tools they need to chase their dreams," said Shannon Smith-Conrad, a Walt Disney World ambassador, in a statement. “After 18 years of hosting Disney Dreamers Academy, we continue to be inspired by these teens and their incredible accomplishments.”

 

Walt Disney announced that the company had picked Houston area students Zane Stevenson, Alexandra Onwuli, Trinity Jones, Jayden Kelly, Joseias Esayas and Brice Everhart from Houston, Richmond, Spring and Missouri City.

 

Disney Dreamers Academy at Walt Disney World is a multi-day program from March 26-30. The program will connect students with business leaders, Disney executives, celebrities and educators through several workshops and seminars.

 

Disney has selected students for this program each year since it started in 2008. This academy has hosted more than 1,700 children, and students who graduate from the program have gone on to live their dreams in a variety of career.
