Morehouse College’s Young Phenom

Stephen Stafford II, a Morehouse College junior, is a triple major in mathematics, computer science, and pre-med. This is a challenging academic regimen for any student but is even more remarkable given that Stafford is just 13 years old.

Stafford was home-schooled and entered Morehouse at age 11. As a freshman he had the highest mark in his pre-calculus class and helped tutor students that were nearly double his age.

Stafford plans to enroll at Morehouse School of Medicine after earning his college diploma in 2012.
