View Full Version : Does your High School have any famous alumni?
Marvo301 01-06-2011, 06:10 PM My High School has one. Evangeline Lilly from "Lost" graduated from the same school as me. Of course she graduated 15 years after me so I don't know her at all. The school we both graduated from is W.J. Mouat Secondary in Abbotsford, British Columbia. NHL hockey player Ryan Craig of the Tampa Bay Lightning also graduated from W.J. Mouat.

Mr. Television 01-06-2011, 06:42 PM I don't know about my HS but I know that Julie McCullough of Growing Pains went to my Junior High School in NC. She was a grade ahead of me so I never knew her but I have her photo in one of my year books.

And Will Smith graduated from a high school in my former neighborhood.
Brent Gates a former MLB player went to Grandville High, he played most of his career with the A's. I know this is a little OT since he didn't go to Grandville High but former NFL player Ray Bentley lives in Grandville. Not to far from my house I think.
Faith 01-09-2011, 12:53 PM Well I went to a lot of different highschools, I was a bad kid... but the one that comes to mind is Jonathan Davis lead singer of the band Korn, Highland high School class of 89.
I also went to North High School which Kevin Harvick of Nascar fame graduated from.
ThomasE 01-10-2011, 11:12 PM Former Reality star Melissa Howard from "The Real World" was my classmate at Brandon high school outside of Tampa, FL from 1994-1995. I was so shy and she was so lively and aggresive that she scared me. LOL.

catlover79 01-11-2011, 11:18 AM Another graduate of my South High School is Greg Harbaugh, a former astronaut.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_J._Harbaugh
He spoke to the elementary, middle and high schools several times while I was a student. He grew up only a couple of blocks away from me, even though he graduated almost 25 years before I did.
A 2001 graduate was Michael Hutter, who is now with the WWE. He was also on NXT using the ring name Derrick Bateman.
Then there's a minor league baseball player Brian Pelligrini (in the Houston Astros organization), class of 2003. He was in the same class as my brother. There were a couple of older Pelligrini brothers who also went to the school and were in some of my classes as well.

phoebe7165 01-18-2011, 02:09 PM I went to school with Carrot Top AKA Scott Thompson. I've known him since 7th grade. We were in band together, he played drums, I played clarinet, and then we graduated the same year, Class of '83, Cocoa High School!!!
Leigh Ann 01-19-2011, 10:15 AM Priscilla Presley went to my high school, before she married Elvis. And she only went there like one year. I think she's the only famous person who went to my high school.
Ohio8 08-09-2013, 08:57 PM Robert Knepper, who graduated from my high school (Maumee) in 1977. He's an actor who was in "Prison Break."
andress_jade 08-11-2013, 03:08 AM I can't think of anyone famous that graduated from my high school but I do know of a few famous people that did go to high school in my hometown. I was born there but never went to school there. But I figured it counts.
Kirstie Alley went to Southeast High School in Wichita, KS where I was born. I had a friend who graduated from there and has a picture of her in his yearbook.
I also know Jeff Probst is from Wichita as well, but I don't know what school he attended.
Now Annette Bening lived in Wichita for awhile but I don't know what school she went to.
Don Johnson is also from Wichita, but I also don't know what high school he went to.
There are other celebrities that lived in Kansas as well, some of them just outside of Wichita.
Martina McBride is from Medicine Lodge, Kansas. Vivian Vance is from Cherryvale, Kansas. These are both very small towns in Kansas. I was very surprised to find out how many celebrities really are from Kansas. :)
Torgo 08-11-2013, 09:56 AM Stan Spencer ( pitcher for the Padres) was a year ahead of me.
Roger Hambright (pitcher for the Yankees) graduated in 1967.
Steve M. 08-21-2013, 09:33 PM Teen idol Tommy Page, James Caldwell High School. After a number one hit in the early 1990s, Nirvana buried his kind of MTV pop in the dustbin where it belongs!
MickeyMac 08-23-2013, 02:17 PM Chris Crawford who is a former basketball player for the Atlanta Hawks went to my high school and me and him graduated the same year, 1993.
gilligan fanatic 08-23-2013, 03:06 PM Torrey Smith of the Baltimore Ravens graduated with me in 2007 from Stafford High School here in VA
PZelda 08-23-2013, 06:59 PM Phyllis Frelich. She graduated from my school in 1962. :) I know her whole family - have met most of her sibs (she is the oldest of 9, if I remember right). I think I heard somewhere when I was a kid that she was from the largest known all-deaf family -- 11 people total. Even her parents (both now deceased) were deaf. All 11 of them attended and graduated from my school.
I also went to school with Josh Duhamel's cousin, and she and my sisters were BFFs. Met him a *long* time ago, when he was just starting out in showbiz.
