Graduated way before my time, but in a strange coincidence, I ended up meeting him @ a South Beach restaurant about 10 years ago, when he joined us for drinks.

We went to church with Brian though so he was never a big deal.

I went to Nile C Kinnick High School on Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan and so it makes it more interesting that Mark Hammel (Luke Skywalker) is an alumnus... and I got the Mark Hammel award in high school for excellent in arts

The only two I can think of are Johnny and Chad Morton...both went to USC and play for NFL teams now.

I went to Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron, Ohio.

The only person that comes to mind for me is Harry "Butch" Reynolds. I am sure there are other famous people-- I know there are prominent ones like the president of the Akron Children's Hospital, a VP at The University of Akron, etc-- but I cannot think of anyone else who is truly "famous"!!

Butch is now coaching at Ohio State-- here is a bio on him...

I'd prefer not to say the name of the high school, since it's in a small town and people might be able to find me there still...;)

Travis Knight - NBA player
*Played for UConn, then was drafted by the Chicago Bulls and then was renounced, so picked up by the Lakers. Has played for the Lakers, Celtics, and Knicks, but it looks like he hasn't played since the 2002-2003 season.

(I still remember when he came to the high school my senior year and was presented a key to the town - or was it the school??? :D)

The infamous went to my high school:

Shannon Faulkner (the girl that bullied her way into The Citadel and quit, eventually went to Furman University and failed out, and ended up graduating from Converse College)

Shannon's mother taught at my high school. BTW, the whole situation with The Citadel was supported, started, and continued by her mother.

I used to go to church with Marty Clary, a former pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. He eventually played baseball in Mexico and South America. Unfortunately, one of his children fell out of the window of a hotel he was staying in. Very upsetting. :(

My mom went to hs with Lou Diamond Phillips. I am from the same town as Selena............???????? Does that count? I went to a small private Catholic school, maybe someone will Pope one day?

This Mike Jones?

And yeah... supposedly Anthony Mason (and his son) and Kelly Price went to my alma mater, Springfield Gardens HS. Did they graduate? Who knows. Not many do.

The only famous person I can think of from my HS (Simsbury, CT) is Jennifer Weiner, author of Good in Bed and several other books. Coincidentally, we both now live in metro Philly.

I'm not sure if people have heard of him outside of my area, but Pat Tillman went to my HS (Leland High School in San Jose, CA). He was a football player who joined the army and was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan.

If you've watched the news or listened to NPR at least once since he died, you know who Pat Tillman is.

Ethan Hawke

Russell High School, Russell KY

Billy Ray Cyrus
Alyssa (http://www.myspace.com/alyssarecords)

These are all I know currently. I went to school with Alyssa & graduated with Julie.

Yeah, I figured. Our football field has been re-named after him, so I wasn't sure if it was more of a local thing. There's also a run for him every year.

Booker T. Washington, OK

Felix Jones (Dallas Cowboys)
Wayman Tisdale (football player?)
Amber Valetta (supermodel)

Highland Springs High School-(VA)
Victor "Macho" Harris- Football (EAGLES!!)

I went to a hardcore football high school so I know a couple of NFL people graduated from there. Also some famous baseball players, but the only one I can think of off the top of my head is Jeff Francouer. And the young lady who was Miss District of Columbia in 2006 also graduated from there.
This is Parkview High School in Lilburn, Ga, btw :)

My high school (Bellevue High School, Bellevue, WA) mostly has a lot of big-to-do business people as alumni. But there are a couple bigger ones:

- Jennifer Dunn, former longtime Republican congresswoman from Washington
- Ann Reinking, Broadway legend and Bob Fosse's muse

That's all I can think of right now.

ETA:

WOW, that list is hard to follow. I went to the University School of Nashville...I remember Tanya Tucker in the halls, Porter Wagonner's daughter playing the piano with me, some other people who were vaguely famous back in the day. We are used to seeing famous people around here, but * can't place who they are* in real life.

Saint Andrew's School (FL)

Just off the top of my head...

Vince Spadea (tennis)
Corina Morariu (tennis)
Jennifer Capriati (tennis)
Morgan Pressel (golf)

Basically stereotypical Florida sports.

Morgan Pressel and I were there at the same time. I think she was a freshman when I as a senior.

I loved when he was alive and ran my school. His son (the JR) sucks.

I don't know of anyone overly notable at my high school (Guilderland High, just outside Albany, NY).

However, my boyfriend went to high school with Eliza Dushku @ Watertown High School, Watertown, MA.

And my best friend Sydney went to high school with Jennifer Aniston @ the Rudolph Steiner school in Manhattan. :D

Nashua High School (Nashua, NH)

Paul Michael Levesque aka Triple H (wrestler)
Kole Ayi (NFL)
Mike Graziadei (The Young and the Restless)
Greg Landry (former NFL quarterback)

Mike Lupica grew up in Nashua, but I don't know if he graduated from Nashua High or Bishop Geurtin. Same with Mike O'Malley, but I'm pretty sure he graduated from BG.

Great Bridge High School (Chesapeake, VA)

Mike Cuddyer- Minnesota Twins. He was drafted my freshman year.
Justin Upton- Arizona Diamondbacks
Chris Richardson- booted off American Idol a few seasons ago

BJ Upton (Tampa Bay Rays) is Justin Upton's brother. He went to Greenbrier Christian Acadaemy, but would have gone to GB had he not done the private school thing.

David Wright (New York Mets) graduated from Hickory High School, which was our rival hs. I bump into his mom on occasion and she gets her hair done at my mom's salon.

Ryan Zimmerman (Washington Nationals) is another local boy. Yeah, we crank out baseball players pretty regularly down here.


Jimmy Fallon is from my ex-husband's hs (Saugerties Senior HS, Saugerties, NY)
