In her career, the post player tallied 1,570 points and 1,107 rebounds racking up 32 double-doubles. The 2023 laurel added to a laundry list of accolades joining district Freshman of the Year distinction in 2020 and all-district as a sophomore. In 2022, she was Class 3A state tournament MVP last season as a junior helping lead the Lady Bees to a state championship. In the state tournament, Johnson was dominant starting with 23 points and nine rebounds in a 40-point blow out of East Hamilton to clinch a spot in the state tournament. Helping guide the team past Elizabethton, she led all scorers with 24 points on 10 of 14 shooting chipping in seven rebounds.

In the championship outing, Johnson went 4-for-8 from the field finishing with 10 points collecting nine caroms in a 48-43 win over Jackson South. Outside of basketball, Johnson graduated cum laude while also playing volleyball and softball at Upperman. As a senior she threw 33 feet, six inches in the shot put in her first track meet winning the event at the Cookeville Invitational and smashing the school record by six feet.
