Read on for a quick review of the early years of this remarkable woman’s life.
Palin’s was born to Charles and Sarah Heath on February 11, 1964 in Sandpoint, Idaho. Charles was a science teacher who loved the outdoors and regularly took young Sarah moose hunting with him before she set off for school in the morning; Sarah’s mother was a school secretary. The family were all active and often ran together in long distance running competitions.
Sarah Palin attended Wasilla High school where she excelled in sports; her nickname on the basketball court was “Sarah Barracuda” because of her aggressive nature.
