Dawn Stanley, even ran ball with her in our high school gym, she was phenomenal way back then.

Dope school, you had to pass a test just to get in.

Shitty neighborhood but that's where I grew up, as did Jill Scott who lived around the corner.

Jill filmed the video "Take a long walk" in the playground behind our high school.

A bunch of basketball and baseball players.
Gus & Ray Williams (BBall)
Scooter & Rodney McCray (BBall)
Ben Gordon (BBall)
Roy Smith (Baseball)
Paul Cozalino (Baseball)

A few professional musicians (wouldn't classify them as celebs though)

Plenty of other folks before and after my time in HS. Denzel Washington to name one but he was quite a few years ahead of me.

Edit: I forgot, actor Leon is from my hometown. Heavy D. Pete Rock & CL Smooth. Al B Sure. Dick Clark. A handful of actors.

Moved to a white area before Jr. high..... these people aren't celeb celebs, but they gained some celebrity.

Dante from "Clerks" I and II and I guess III when it comes out:
(worked with Randall)





and this chick from "Hairspray", the fairly successful 90's alternative group Eve's Plum and then as solo artist Vitamin C (sang "Graduation"...possibly the most annoying song ever)











Oh, almost forgot... Vanessa's best friend Janet Meiser from the Cosby show (not the fast talker... the other one). She had a role in A Man Called Hawk, but I don't think anything since then, lol
