CSN Grad’s Big Break at Tyler Perry Studios

Lights, camera, action! Recent CSN graduate and 2025 Commencement Speaker Hisonni Johnson has been selected for the prestigious Tyler Perry Dreamers Program, an opportunity that will take him to Atlanta this August to develop his work alongside some of the industry’s leading film and television directors.

Johnson’s journey is already filled with standout moments — from setting a new record for the most Student Emmy nominations in our region to earning the Indie Scholarship as he transfers to UNLV this fall. Johnson, who graduated from CSN this spring, said he hopes his story will inspire other students to pursue their goals.

We couldn’t be prouder to see a Coyote making moves on such a legendary stage. Stay tuned as we share more about Johnson’s experience at Tyler Perry Studios in the months ahead.
