Michelle Obama

Michelle graduated from Young Magnet High School in Chicago in 1981. In school, she served on the student council and was a member of the National Honour Society. She left her high school on a high note as she was the salutatorian of her senior class.

After high school and college, she obtained a J.D degree from Harvard Law School in 1988 and shortly became an associate at the Chicago law firm Sidley & Austin, where she met her future husband, Barack Obama (whom she mentored when he was a summer associate).
