No-- President Obama graduated from high school in Honolulu, Hawaii and then went to college in California and New York. But if you are asking about his father, who had the same name as the president, Barack Sr. did come to the US from Kenya in 1959 and studied at the University of Hawaii. There, he met Ann Dunham, they married, and in 1961, their son (the future president) was born.
