10-Year-Old Earns High School Diploma in California

A 10-year-old Northern California boy whose father said he “came out smart” has graduated from high school — eight years earlier than most people do. Tanishq Abraham of Sacramento received his diploma at a private ceremony with 100 guests at the California Auto Museum on Sunday, and even got a congratulatory letter from the White House. “It was really emotional,” his mother, Taji Abraham, said on Wednesday. “He said he liked being home-schooled but really wanted a cap-and-gown ceremony. He worked so hard for it.”
