Hello, my name is Dr. Lueisha Dixon-Golden, and I am the founder of Georgia Discovery Innovation Academy (GDIA) — a school grounded in faith, excellence, and innovation. I started GDIA because I believe every child deserves the chance to discover their purpose, think creatively, and lead with confidence. As an educator and leader with over a decade of experience in education and public administration, I’ve seen firsthand how hands-on, project-based learning can change lives. My mission is to create a school where students feel seen, supported, and inspired to reach beyond limitations — a place where curiosity is celebrated and learning connects to the real world. Through GDIA, I hope to empower our community’s children to dream big, learn boldly, and use their gifts to make a lasting difference and to find thier purpose in Christ.
