Founder & CEO

Brandi Johnson is the Founder & CEO of Winters Park Academy, a private STEM-focused school in Frisco, TX. With decades of Executive Leadership experience in Information Security for Fortune 50 and 100 companies, Brandi recognized the significant influence that STEM education had on career opportunities and in promoting lifelong fulfillment for her and her family.

technology in every subject, preparing students for global leadership and entrepreneurship.

Late 2025 she opened the first Winters Park Academy, a lower school for students
