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.

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:
- Aaron Montgomery, drummer for the band Trapt

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.

tangelo212 05-07-2010 11:20 PM

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.
