Dreher High School Junior Selected for Disney Dreamers Academy
Dreher High School junior Benjamin Brown has been selected to attend the 2023 Disney Dreamers Academy. The four-day event will take place March 22-26 at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.
The Disney Dreamers Academy prepares teens for the future by “expanding their horizons at career workshops and developing skills such as interviewing and networking.” More than 8,000 high school students between 13 and 19 years old applied. Benjamin was one of 100 teens selected and the only South Carolina student chosen to participate.
“Being a part of Disney Dreamers Academy’s Class of 2023 will help prepare me for my career aspirations through workshops and events, and hearing from guest speakers,” Benjamin said. “This event is important to me because I get to connect with like-minded individuals in my age group and learn more about their aspirations and tips on how to have a successful career and lifestyle.”
According to the Disney Dreamers Academy, students are selected based on their “intellectual curiosity, compassion, courage, positive outlook, generous spirit and optimism about the future.”
“Benjamin's acceptance into the Disney Dreamers Academy is a reflection of this young man's character, passion for learning, and commitment to his community,” said Dreher Principal Dr. Kevin Hasinger.
