Early life and education

Bush was named after her maternal grandmother, Jenna Hawkins Welch.

Bush was educated at several primary and secondary schools. In Dallas, Texas, she and her sister attended Preston Hollow Elementary School and then The Hockaday School. In 1994, after her father was elected Governor of Texas and the family moved to Austin, Texas, Hager was a student at St. Andrew's Episcopal School. She attended Austin High School from 1996 until her graduation in 2000. She attended the University of Texas at Austin 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, Hager was charged with a Class C misdemeanor of being a person under age 21 in possession of alcohol in Austin. On May 29 2001, Hager 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. Hager graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in English in 2004.

2004 U.S. Presidential election

on Inauguration Day]]Bush had asked her father not to run for president in 2000: "Oh, I just wish you wouldn't run. It's going to change our life." Her father told her that he and her mother needed to live their lives. "All In The Family: The Bush Twins Join the Team", Newsweek, November 15, 2004. However, in the winter of 2003, she decided to become involved in the 2004 campaign. "All In The Family: The Bush Twins Join the Team", Newsweek, November 15, 2004. In response to this decision, Jenna made media appearances during the summer of 2004 prior to the 2004 U.S. Presidential election. She and her sister made several joint public appearances, including giving a speech to the Republican Convention on August 31, 2004. She made headlines when she was found sticking her tongue out to media photographers at a campaign stop in St. Louis. Jenna and Barbara took turns traveling to swing states with their father and also gave a seven-page interview and photo shoot in Vogue. The media also extensively covered the campaigning of John Kerry's daughters Vanessa and Alexandra, making the "battle of the daughters" a human interest element of the campaign.
