Amy Lynn Carter (born October 19, 1967) is the daughter of the 39th U.S. president Jimmy Carter and his first lady Rosalynn Carter. Carter entered the limelight as a child when she lived in the White House during the Carter presidency. Early life and education Amy Carter was born on October 19, 1967, in Plains, Georgia. In 1970, her father was elected governor of Georgia, and then in 1976, president of the United States. She was raised in Plains until her father was elected governor, whereupon she moved with her family into the Georgia Governor's Mansion in Atlanta. She later moved to the White House at the age of 9 when her father was elected U.S. president. Carter attended public schools in Washington during her four years in the White House; first Stevens Elementary School and then Rose Hardy Middle School. After her father's presidency, Carter moved to Atlanta, where her senior year of high school was at Woodward Academy in College Park, Georgia. She was a Senate page during the 1982 summer session. Carter attended Brown University but was academically dismissed in 1987, "for failing to keep up with her coursework". She later earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (BFA) from the Memphis College of Art and received a master's degree in art history from Tulane University in New Orleans in 1996. Life in the White House In January 1977, at the age of nine, Carter entered the White House, where she lived for four years. She was the subject of much media attention during this period, as young children had not lived in the White House since the early 1960s presidency of John F. Kennedy (and would not again do so after the Carter presidency until the inauguration of Bill Clinton, in January 1993, when Chelsea moved in.) While Carter was in the White House, she had a Siamese cat named Misty Malarky Ying Yang, which was the last cat to occupy the White House until Socks, owned by Bill Clinton. Carter also was given an elephant from Sri Lanka from an immigrant; the animal was given to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. Carter attended public schools, including Stevens Elementary School and Hardy Middle School. Carter roller-skated through the White House's East Room and had a treehouse on the South Lawn. When she invited friends over for slumber parties in her treehouse, Secret Service agents monitored
