This is probably pretty random but do high schools commonly have famous alumni? I mean, obviously everyone has to go to school somewhere. But like, have any of you attended a high school that's known for having numerous famous alumni? If so, from whom did your high school earn its fame?
Absolutely, many high schools do have famous alumni who lead notable lives in various fields such as sports, entertainment, business, and politics. Some schools are even well-known specifically because of their prestigious alumni.
For example, there's Phillips Academy Andover which has educated former U.S presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. The Los Angeles County High School for the Arts has numerous notable alumni in the art and entertainment industry including singers Josh Groban and Jenna Ushkowitz of "Glee" fame.
However, it's crucial to remember the abundance or lack of famous alumni from a high school doesn't reflect upon the quality of education the school provides or the success students are likely to achieve post-graduation. Success is multidimensional and being 'famous' is just one way it can be exhibited.
