Carver High School Student Selected for Prestigious Disney Dreamers Academy

Trinity Jones, a senior at Carver High School for Applied Technology, Engineering, and the Arts in Aldine ISD, is among 100 students nationwide selected to attend the 2025 Disney Dreamers Academy, a four-day, all-expenses-paid immersive experience at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.

The program, set for March 31 through April 3, is designed to inspire and empower high school students from underrepresented communities to dream big and pursue their goals. Established in 2008, the academy features interactive career workshops, motivational talks, networking opportunities, and behind-the-scenes experiences at the resort. Students also receive mentorship from Disney executives, celebrities, business leaders, educators, and community leaders.

“‘Wow. I thank you, God,’ were the words I could not stop repeating,” Trinity said after hearing the news. “I cannot describe the overflow of emotions. The disbelief yet the joy that I was chosen among thousands of others. I was beyond elated. Beyond thankful.”

Trinity, 17, is a Houston native and standout student who participates in numerous academic and leadership organizations, including the National Honor Society, Top Teens of America, Business Professionals of America, Student Council, EMERGE, and the Sankofa Theatre Company. She directed and produced a short play and has completed more than 130 community service hours through school-sponsored and nonprofit events.

A passionate writer, Trinity said the selection feels like a pivotal step toward her dreams. “Internally, I saw a push toward a dream I’ve been working towards for a very long time. Wow. Forever grateful.”
