Famous people that went to your high school

Too bad that my first cousin Rebecca isn't a 10C member. She graduated from Roosevelt HS in Seattle...alma mater of none other than Mike McCready.

Stardog3..

I went to an all girls school so a lot of professional dancers/model/actresses that are making a good living but not "famous".

Bringing one up from the way back. Fun to read.

My school is pretty lame. It has over doubled in size in the 18 years since I graduated. The only person I know that had any sort of famous success is John (Johnzo) West. He is a singer and guitar player.

He went on and performed with several bands/musicians including Dickey Betts (of the Allman Brothers), Buddy Guy, The Animals, Patti Smith, Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley Cyrus. Currently, he has his own band and is also the lead guitarist for Eric Burden and the Animals.

But my dad's high school in Brooklyn produced a lot of famous people.
He went to school with RBG

Was talking to my mom the other day and she mentioned something pretty cool. She went to Upper Darby High School outside of philly and Jim Croce was in her homeroom in 11th grade (which I'm guessing was late 50's/early 60's). Just thought that was cool.

Interesting thread I looked up my school online. Wootton HS in Rockville, MD.

Students:

Donny Baldwin, drummer for Starship was in my graduating class, 1969.    I knew him as "Don" and he and I were in the same metal shop class for a couple of semesters (you know, lol, like fabricating things out of metal, not the music- as far as I can remember, "Metal" was not a musical term back in those days, ).  Don was a kick!  He was the funniest guy in the class and was always cool with me. He got in trouble a bunch of time with our teacher Mr. Smart who would make Don sit against the wall with no chair under him.  Baldwin, being a drummer, had the legs to tough it out.  He frustrated Mr. Smart because he was a troublemaker, but Smart also like him.  Hell, we all did!   I still have three of Don's band cards from his high school rock band, The Good Wurd.  Great guy.

Greg Rolie, keyboardist for Santana, class of '65

Michio Kaku, class of '64.  Famed physicist and author.

Teachers:

Ron Jones:  Teacher, author and creator of The Third Wave social experiment.  I never had a class with Mr. Jones, but my girlfriend did and get got permission from Jones to sit in on his class a few times.  A fascinating and creative individual!

George Hurley:  NFL offensive lineman in the 1930s for the Boston Braves/Redshins, later became h.s. football coach, wood shop instructor, and drive education teacher.  Mr. Hurley was cool.  Really nice guy.

I was or am actually friends with 4 people who became famous to varying degrees, and we all went to the same high school at the same time (Seaquam Secondary). I was drama geek friends with the first 3, haha.

Vinessa Antoine, who was a lead character in General Hospital for 4 years, and the lead in Diggstown, and a main character in Being Erica, and is now a main character in Ginny & Georgia. She was awesome actually. A lot of fun. She is, however, now lying about her age officially, LOL. She changed her birth year to make herself 7 years younger on all her official media.

I was also friends with Cameron Melnyk, whose band State of Shock had one big hit, "Money Honey". They were nominated for a Juno as best new band because of it, in the mid-2000s. He was a cool dude... the girls dug him, lol. His GF was a close friend of mine, and we were 2 years older than him, so he was the stud of the 10th grade, LOL!

And my oldest friend's younger brother is Kristian Ayre, who is best known for having a main role in a Nickelodeon show (Space Cases), but he was also Foom Foom the Elf in the movie Elf, and had a lot of other roles too. He quit acting quite some time ago though. He recently got married in Toronto to his now-husband Jordan. I see them both every Christmas when they come home to visit.

And finally Tim Hecker, who has found great success for someone who does what he does. He's a well-known sound artist and composer, known for experimental ambient music and has done many soundtracks and shit. People who are into the experimental ambient scene will definitely know who he is, lol, and he has won a Juno.
