Education
Albert Einstein High School is headed by Vice Principal Gupta. The school makes various attempts to celebrate and encourage diversity, including the Cultural Diversity Dance in October and the Non-Denominational Winter Dance. The school has a very complete core-curriculum and prides itself in its gifted students. Mia is often sarcastic towards her placement in the Gifted & Talented class, claiming she was put there to improve her lowly grade in Algebra. The teacher in charge of G & T is Mrs. Hill, who spends class time in the teacher's lounge across the hall. The mascot of Albert Einstein High is the Lion. At the end of the novel series Mia completes high school and moves on to Sarah Lawrence College.
In the final book, Forever Princess, Mia becomes a published author, having written the book Ransom My Heart, and begins what she believes is her true career.
