1976-1981: Kamala Harris, future US VP, attended French-language and English-language schools in Montreal, Canada, after her parents' divorce, which influenced her career as a prosecutor.
Kamala Harris, the US Vice President and 2021 Democratic presidential candidate, spent her adolescence in Montreal, Canada (1976-1981) after her parents' divorce. Her mother, a cancer researcher, enrolled Harris in French-language school despite her lack of French skills. Harris later transferred to a bilingual school and an English-language public high school, Westmount High School, where she graduated in 1981. Known for her love of dancing and being outgoing, her time in Canada influenced her decision to become a prosecutor, inspired by a friend's experience of abuse.
