Most recognizable alumni from American high schools?

Hi everyone, for a project I'm doing, I'm trying to compile a list of the most famous alumni from American high schools. Would anybody here have any knowledge or resources on where to find this kind of information? Or, if you know of any notable alumni from your own high school, feel free to share!

You bring up a fun and interesting research project! There are indeed many famous alumni from American high schools. Keep in mind, however, that "famous" can vary depending on who you ask and what occupation or industry they are in, like film, academics, sports, or politics.

Some starting points could be:

1. Conrad Hilton, founder of the Hilton Hotels and a graduate of Goss Military Institute (now New Mexico Military Institute).

2. Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, attended Phillips Exeter Academy.

3. Meryl Streep, highly acclaimed actress, graduated from Bernards High School in New Jersey.

4. Former U.S President Barack Obama graduated from Punahou School in Hawaii.

5. Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon, attended Blume High School in Ohio.

6. Serena Williams, legendary tennis player, attended The Driftwood Academy in Florida.

To find more, you could look up profiles of famous people you know and trace where they went to high school. Also, many high schools will boast their successful alumni on their websites, and that could be a good place to look for specific data. Calling or emailing high school offices could be another strategy to get this information. Beware of potential privacy policies though, not all schools may disclose this information.
