I went to Broken Arrow High School in Broken Arrow, OK (a suburb of Tulsa). Kristin Chenoweth went to my school, she was one year ahead of me. I met her and even hung out with her, as part of a group, many times....we ran with basically the same crowd. So, football games (she was a cheerleader, I was pep club leader), after-game parties, weekend events at the same hangouts, etc. She was such a great person. Incredibly adorable, talented, intelligent and so genuine. I hope she has stayed the same. We weren't close enough to keep in touch after high school.
There could be others from my school that are famous (or at least semi-known), but I don't know for sure. We had a great fine arts program, so several folks had Broadway dreams!
I went to Thackerville High School.Thackerville Oklahoma home of Win Star Casino. There were only 24 people in my class. As far as I know none of them ever left Thckerville. Kind of hard to be famous in a place that dosn't even have a red light.
I am afraid I am going to have to defer to my father on this one. I had no one particularly famous in my high school (Camden-Rockport HS, Camden, Maine). However, my father went to school with Burt Reynolds (they called him Buddy then). He and my Dad were best friends, he was one year older than my father but they played football together and double-dated, my father had the car and Burt had the license. He tried to convince my father to come to Florida State to play football and go to school there but my father had already signed up with the Marine Corps. Buddy's response, "Tell the Marine Corps to go screw themselves and lets play some football". The Corps won that round....
Interesting when my younger sister was born, Buddy commented that he thought my father was very fortunate, he had always wanted a family. Interesting what we choose...
I went to two high schools: Davy Crockett HS in Austin, TX and Munich American HS, Munich, Germany. No on famous went to Crockett. At Munich Shirley McClain went there...no, I never met her. The interesting thing about that school is that it was open, at various locations around Munich, but that it produced the largest number of generals for the US Army. From my particular class I know about 20 who are now colonels, so there will be a few more generals from MAHS...I hope. The other sad thing is that it closed in '98.
Lafayette High School, Lafayette, Louisiana. Ron Guidry pitched for the New York Yankees. Long gone by the time I got to campus. I looked up Lafayette on Wikipedia, shows a list of famous people. I don't know any of them.
I went to Rochelle Township High School in Rochelle,IL.
To my knowledge, our most famous grad is Joan Allen, the actress ... most recently of the Bourne Movies .... but known for many others ...
She was exactly 4 years ahead of me ... so I was never in school with her.
Robbie goes to school with the actor who plays Jake Ryan in the Hannah Montana TV series ....
And I taught Deron Williams ... now in the NBA playoffs with the Utah Jazz ... all his Geometry skills for his 3-pointers!!
I went to Northwest ISD (k-12) in Justin Texas. Class of 152, we were the 1st class to graduate from the 'new' high school on HWY 156. I can't even find what used to be cafeteria in the current campus. It has quadrupled in size.
A local sport broadcaster (Dale Hansen) children went to our school, but that didn't make them famous.
And yes, I did meet the kids, but I can't even remember their names.
