Dionn Megginson and her parents always knew she was a gifted child. After just three weeks in kindergarten, the young prodigy was promoted to the first grade, and now she's headed to high school.

She successfully completed grades one through four and earned the Principal’s Award each year, according to Because Of Them We Can.

“We realized Dionn was unique at a very early age, before she could walk. Teachers at her daycare would always tell us that Dionn was very smart and that she knew a lot for her age. It was suggested by them that we have her tested when she got into elementary school,” Dionn’s mother, Sharon Megginson, said in an interview with Because of Them We Can.

After taking a test, Dionn skipped to the sixth grade at Cedar Hill ISD Middle School when she was just nine years old.

“I like taking advanced classes and all of my teachers,” Dionn said.

Now Dionn has completed her first day of high school at 11 years old.

Inspired by her role model, Katherine Johnson, Dionne hopes to become a mathematician.

She has plans to graduate from high school by the time she turns 14 and enroll in Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia.
