Yearbooked - GOP VEEP Edition

In 1998, before becoming Alaska's Queen, Sarah Palin spent a year living among high-schoolers. In her controversial program, she made a name for herself on the basketball and debate teams.

During her year she was also elected student body president rallying the 30 person class with a call for reform and responsible prom committee spending. Her tenure ended in controversy as she used her position of power to pressure the football coach to bench the star quarterback. Citing his poor performance, it was later discovered that the quarteback had actually just had a difficult break up with Palin's BFF.

Eventually pushed from office, she finished the year as an outcast.
