What Celebrity did You go to High School with

H-Town. Dino sat in front of me in health class. I looked up one day and saw him on Video Soul with “Knockin’ the Boots.”
 
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.

what was that... Boys or Boys & Girls high, right?

Man, I was getting my eyes checked out a while back, and they had the optician guy checking out the fit of my glasses and he noticed I was a tall guy so he's asking me if I played ball. Old white lookin guy, possibly hispanic, but mentioned that he was a guard on the Boy's high team back in the day when Connie Hawkins was playing there. I was like :eek2:

Actually, what a lot of people may not be aware of is that Dwayne "Pearl" Washington was a student at Norman Thomas High School initially. He later transferred to Boy's and Girl's High School in Brooklyn.
 
I had a couple of high school classmates that popped up on TV in music videos trying to get their foot into Hollywood back in the 1990s.

Their career never made it anywhere.

I do know a couple of high school classmates who have worked in major studios in upper management , making decisions for well known movies/tv series.

Their names have appeared on screen in post credits of well known projects.
 
I went to school with a bunch of children, cousins, nephews, nieces and grandchildren of some celebrities, I'm tripping cause I never realized it was a lot more than I ever thought about.
