Most Famous Person you went to HS with

[STLantny]

Inspired by another message board.
I played ball with Larry Hughes, he graduated a couple years before me. Funny thing is, I was supposed to be in gym class, he was supposed to be in English.

[PokerBob]

Big White Stiff Jim Mclvaine.

EDIT: And we were in the same conference as Nick Van Exel. He lit us up for 43 in a triple OT game once, but really wasn't all that good in high school

[MoreWineII]

I think some chick from my class played soccer at University of Arizona or something. The rest of us were (are) losers.

[Edge34]

Natalie Darwitz, member of Team USA hockey and 2002 Olympic Silver medalist. Allowed to basically ride through 3.5 out of 4 years of HS....

Unfortunately, I don't think this thread will go too far...but this could be interesting if anybody has any good stories.

[NorCalJosh]

ummm most "famous" person i went to high school with is this girl Jimin Khang who apparently was player of the year on the Futures tour, and has one win and two top 10 finishes so far in the LPGA this year. heh. so basically, i didnt go to school with anyone famous.

[evans075]

Not too famous but my best-friend is going to be the Starting QB for Univerity of Memphis (Patrick Byrne).

[SossMan]

DeShaun Foster went to my junior high, then ended up going to the rival high school since our team was terrible. He ran for approximately 9 billion yards against us in the first half in his first varsity game against us as a sophomore.

I'm no sup bro, and I was terrible at D-line (i was only slightly adequate at my regular position OG) so when I tried to tackle him my senior year when I was stuck at defensive end, he left cleat marks on my chest.

[steelcmg]

Rip Hamiton graduated like 3 years before me

[TheWorstPlayer]

Noah Feldman, maybe? Not too famous, but not too bad.

[Matt Williams]

There are a couple of "famous" people that I went to school with (well, went to my school). Laura SanGiacomo graduated 5 or 6 years ahead of me. She was in the Steven King movie
'The Stand' and was on a sitcom on ABC. I can't remember the name of the show but it was on for a few years. David Spade was also on that show. Lou Benfatti from Penn State and the NY Jets also went to my high school. He was drafted in the 3rd round by the Jets and played for I think 2 years before being cut by injuries.

I replied earlier and I completely forgot about this until your post reminded me. It's actually a funny story. I went to school with Theresa Bradley in the 2nd grade. She is the daughter of Sen. Bill Bradley. Anyway, we used to play kickball during lunch. I was at 1st base and she was up. She hit a pop up and made the last out of the inning. I was so mad at her for popping it up, I grabbed the ball and hit her in the head with it. She went to the nurse crying and I got yelled at ect. When she went home that day, she told her dad and he called my mom up and wanted to talk to my father. My mom then told him my dad died when I was a baby. So he asked my mom if it was OK to come to school and talk to me. She said sure. So then the next day at school, Bill Bradley comes in and asks my teacher if he can talk to me in the hall. I go out in the hall and he tells me that real men never hit girls because its wrong and how we have to stand up for women and all that stuff. Then when I got home that day, after my mom yelled at me for hitting Theresa she told me how he was a US Senator and basketball player. At the time, I was more impressed with him being a basketball player.

I doubt there has ever been anyone famous from my highschool.

Closest was a guy the year ahead of me who is currently spending a year and a day in lockup for one of the most egregious check-kiting scams ever (over a billion dollars worth of transactions).

Danny Tamberelli or as you guys know him little Pete from "Pete and Pete". Judging from the recent Nick poll I guess a bunch of people still remember him. He was pretty quiet and a bit odd. Missed a bunch of school because he was filming a lot. He was done with that show by then but did other shows on Nick at the time like "Figure it out".

Oh yeah, Chris Simms too [Phil Simms lives in my town and goes to my church sometimes], but he never did too well in the NFL so noone really cares about him.

First, somewhat famous as he actually played professional sports but probably not really as he wasnt a star player, is Sam Jacobsen, ex-NBA player.

And, more infamous though, is Sean William Scott, aka Stifler! And techincally I went to HS with him, but as I was senior with a really spotty attendance record and he was but mere freshmen my entire 'went to HS with him' probably consisted of appearing in the same yearbook.

Sam Jacobsen is the impetus for one of the, IMO, greatest sports-related quotes in history. Sam is a white guy who could jump. Someone in the press dubbed him, "The Jewish Jordan" which prompted his mother to quip, "He's not Jewish. He's not Jordan either."

I went to HS with several members of the band “Toto”. They were called “Still Life” at that time.

Dennis Thurman - defensive back for the Cowboys
Heather Thomas - The babe on the show “Fall Guy”

The most famous person who went to my HS was probably John Erlichman. Erlichman was much older than I and he was in the HS hall of fame. He was Nixon’s chief of staff. The Watergate trial was going on while I was a student and some of us tried unsuccessfully to get him thrown out of the HOF. He eventually went to prison for obstruction of justice.

[ClaytonN]

I went to two schools over course of high school, one during Fresh and Soph years, another during Jun and Senior years

Most famous in both schools (graduating this last year) would prob be Jeff Witt (future starter for Harvard football) and Gershom Bigham (future wide receiver for UAB)

JoJo Townsell was a senior when I was a freshman, he played for the Jets for a while.

She wasn't at my high school, she was at a different one nearby, but when I was in HS I went on a date with Jennifer Lien of Star Trek Voyager fame. Well, it wasn't really a date, so much as I chauffered her to some concert and some party, where she drank alot and ignored me. For some pathetic reason, this was still impressive to the other guys at the party, as she was so hot at the time. Not so hot with the vulcan haircut:

My brother (piz0wn0red) played in the Jazz band with him.

The only story I know is from before high school, when he played on my friend's little league team. My friend was pitching, and the batter hit a deep drive. Harrington jumped up and saved him a home run.

He didn't get in trouble since he got special treatment from staff and that's probably why he stayed such a mess.

The show had two or three seasons in the early 80's. Johnny Bench was the host and he had a special guest every week like Pete Rose, Ozzie Smith, Tug McGraw, Mike Schmidt. Tommy Lasorda did a bit at the end where he was dressed as a wizard. The Chicken was always there doing chicken stuff.

The kids got baseball instruction from the pros and did drills and stuff. My friend was the token fat kid and there was always bits where he was eating candy rather than playing baseball. They probably couldn't get away with it today.

Johnny Edwards (Wake Forest DB)
Darrell Burston (FSU, but I don't know where he plays now)
Deante Battle (Northwestern DB)

That's probably it for students. We did have a teacher win 1M on Millionaire though. Right after he got fired no less. Oh, and we had a teacher banging a student, so that was news too.

Hmmm, yeah, Jason Hamilton, he does some play-by-play for UW basketball now. NM then, I guess he wins. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I usually don't like FYP, but one that finds the way to change something into the word "radder" gets an A++ from me.

Thank you. That word is very underrated. I'm trying to bring it back.

and if we're doing people who went to the same school awhile back, then it's Tom Petty.

[4thstreetpete]

I went to school with Hornet's centre Jamaal Magloire

http://www.jamaalmagloire.com/hor-arz.jpg

At that time it was a huge deal because I don't remember too many canadians who were getting ready to be drafted into the NBA. He was actually a very nice guy. Worked out with him and played some basketball with him. He was REALLY popular because everyone knew he was getting ready to be drafted into the NBA WAAAY before he was even ready. From what I remembered he was a really down to earth guy though, very respectful so good for him. It's always a treat when he comes back to Toronto. There were even talk that he was part of a blockbuster Vince Carter trade a few months ago.

[Duffman]

I went to Jr high with Michelle Trachtenberg (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005502/)

She did Harriet the Spy and then left the school a couple of months after that.

[DukeSucks]

The only famous ones I know of that went to my school are:

Walter Davis
Bobby Jones
Roman Phifer

I graduated with Kris Humphries of the Utah Jazz. This is the kid who turned down full ride to Duke at the last minute to go to Minnesota because Coach K couldnt guarantee him starting role his frosh year. Wanted to go pro after frosh.

F'n douchebag and one of the dumbest kids I know.

[Sponger15SB]

Since I just graduated a few years ago, nobody is really that famous from my school right now. Although at one point my high school had 5 people in the NFL including John Lynch and Chad Hutchinson.

Oh and within like a one year span starting 2 years ago there was about 6-7 people from either my grade or the grade older than me that were on all those random dating shows such as elimidate and taildaters.

[CallMeIshmael]

Ummm... didnt a chick on bangbus go to your high school??


Clearly, that is the correct answer for you.

[BigBaitsim (milo)]

Handed off the baton to Paul "Boo-Boo" Palmer in the 4x100 relay my whole junior year, four years before he became the KC Chiefs 1st round pick (and five years before he was out of the NFL for threatening to fumble a kick return on purpose to get back at his coach).

I dated the woman who wrote "Dying Young," that POS chick flick with Julia Roberts. She dumped me because I was immature (which is true, mostly because she was 19 and I was 16). Because this is OOT, I will answer the inevitable question: No, I did not.

Jarret went to St. Viator. I almost went there, too.

Where did you go to junior high/high school?

[KDawgCometh]

No one from my year sticks out in my head, but jamie from RW New Orleans and Lindsey from RW Seattle were 2 and 3 years ahead of me. Jamie's mom gave us rides to Boy Scouts before I quit. THe girl from Apollo13 and Free Willy was a year ahead of me. Matt Lottich that played for Stanford basketball was two years behind me. Liz Phair also graduated from my HS in the mid 80s

[KDawgCometh]

I went to New Trier( 98). though I wasn't the one you were asking

[BretWeir]

Jon Bon Jovi got kicked out of my high school about 15 years before I was there.

A year or two after I graduated, Jay Williams (Bulls guard who was injured in a motorcycle accident) started there. And this year, the Lakers' #1 draft pick (taken right out of high school) came from there.

We were never that great a hoops school while I was there, though.

[Brain]

I have John Parrish (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=6532). He's been up and down in the Orioles organization. This thread made me look up one of our other prospects, Matt Watson (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=7244). He went to Xavier and I had kinda forgotten about him.

Perry Patterson (http://www.suathletics.com/roster.asp?playerid=1062&amp;sport=187&amp;roster=168) got to HS a year after I left. Hopefully the Orange will have a better year than last year.

[jayboo]

her (http://www.nicolehiltz.com/) she graduated 1 yr after me. funny stuff.
Jay.

[querulous]

Kristin Kreuk went to one of my highschools, but she was a snobby little 15 year old the year I graduated, so I barely even noticed her. Also William Sasso (of MadTV and a bunch of bad movies), but only because he had to repeat a class or three after his senior year. Jason Priestly went to that school too, but before I was there. Future most famous graduate of that school = Nicola Elbro, currently filming a movie with Amanda Bynes, David Cross and Vinnie Jones.

[jonoo]

danny kannel (washed up NFL QB) went to my HS

[wall_st]

Went to school with Natalie Gulbis (LPGA), same year as her. I played on the golf team for one year with her as well. She's very nice, however her dad is the definition of one of those parents who lives life vicariously through his child, on top of it he's a huge prick.

I used to practice at the same course as her so I would see her quite a bit even after I stopped playing for the HS.

[Emmitt2222]

Are you serious? By any chance do you know a Nicole Vandeveer [sp?]? I go to college with her now and she actually was somewhat friends with him, she smoked pot with him once or twice and got to see his pimped out H2 when he first got it.

From junior high on I was a classmate of weapons inspector Charlie Duelfer.

I coached James Blake in Little League. Though baseball was a fill-in for tennis it was clear he was an exceptional athlete. To figure that he would be world class was beyond my abilities to project.

My son used to hang out with a guy who is now some big time singer. I can't remember his name. He is about 26 from Fairfield Ct.

I only graduated a couple of years ago.. plus I'm on an island.. so.. ya.

I went to an alternative school, I highly doubt if anyone (other than me) makes over $30K a year, unless they're strippers. No way any of them will be celebrities.

In fact, I don't think my HS even exists anymore, the last time I drove past it, it was a cell phone store.

Lisa Spurrier, Steve Spurrier's daughter, was in my homeroom. Back then he was the coach of the Tampa Bay Bandits, a USFL team. My buddy's dad had season tickets and usually let us go, so I saw most of the games during their championship season.

That's the closest thing to a famous person I know about.

I went to elementary school with Rachel from the Real World San Francisco. She's about the most "recognizable" person I went to school with.

I went to HS with 1989 Gatorade Boys Soccer POY (http://www.mesoccer.com/articles/soccer-article-514.htm) Todd Haskins; Sports Illustrated did a full-page article on him our senior year. He was a dick.

Also went to HS with the younger brother of soccer player Desmond Armstrong (http://www.ussoccerplayers.com/players/desmond_armstrong/) (he graduated from the same school 7 years before I did).

We won a lot at soccer.

One of my roommates in grad school went to high school with Traci Lords (I forget her real name, something awful).

I went to HS with the runner-up on the first Joe Millionaire, Sarah Kozar. Although labeling her as famous is a bit of a stretch to say the least.
