Barbara Pierce Bush Biography and Photos
Barbara Pierce Bush (born November 25, 1981) is the elder of the fraternal twin daughters of the 43rd U.S. President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush.
Sister of Jenna Bush Hager, together they were known as the First Twins, both because they are the children of the former President of the United States and because they were the first twin children of a sitting president. Barbara is named after her paternal grandmother, former First Lady Barbara Bush. Barbara Bush was born at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas.
When the family lived in the Preston Hollow section of Dallas, she and her sister attended Preston Hollow Elementary School; Laura Bush served on Preston Hollow's Parent Teachers Association at that time. Later, she and Jenna attended The Hockaday School in Dallas. When her father became Governor of Texas in 1994, Barbara attended St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Austin, Texas. In 1996, Barbara began attending Austin High School, graduating with the class of 2000. She attended Yale where she was a legacy member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority (her mother, First Lady Laura Bush, is also a member of Kappa Alpha Theta). On April 29, 2001, Bush was charged with a Class C misdemeanor for being in the possession of alcohol under the age 21 in Austin. On May 29, 2001, Bush was charged with another misdemeanor — attempting to use a fake ID (with the name Barbara Pierce, her paternal grandmother's maiden name) to purchase alcohol. She pleaded no contest to both misdemeanors.
Barbara lives in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City. Recently she has been working for a Smithsonian museum in New York, the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. Previously, Barbara had been working with AIDS patients in Africa, in Tanzania, South Africa, and Botswana, among other places, through a program sponsored by the Houston-based Baylor College of Medicine's International Pediatrics AIDS Initiative. She currently works for a public heh-focused non-profit, Global Heh Corps

Barbara's graduation from Yale in May 2004 was given heavy media coverage. She and Jenna made several media appearances that summer prior to the 2004 U.S. Presidential election, including giving a speech to the Republican Convention on August 31. The two took turns traveling to swing states with their father and also gave a seven-page interview and photo shoot in Vogue. Barbara joined her mother on diplomatic trips to Liberia in January 2006 to attend the inauguration of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and to Vatican City to meet with Pope Benedict XVI in February 2006.
