Didn't go to school with anyone that became famous... BUT did go to school with the guy that invented those sports jerseys that are split half and half down the middle with different teams. He invented them in high school, but I don't think he ever became rich or famous because of it.

I didnt go to school with anyone famous but a few famous people graduated from Rolling Meadows High School before me. The lead singer from Rise Against graduated there and they just filmed a music video inside the school too.


Also Gary Cole (most know him from Office Space, Pineapple Express)

My fellow high schoolers were:

Kellan Lutz (Emmett from Twilight)

I think a few people are reading the title as "Did you go to the same school as anyone famous?" instead of "Did you go to school with anyone famous?".

this is the closest i have though :tear:
i graduated with no one famous- but john c. reilly is one of the few that went to the same school. i got to meet him and walk around the school with him. great man

I went to school with Josh Paul who was a catcher for the White Sox, Devil Rays and I think Anneheim. If anyone remember Pierzinski's oops play from the 2005 season that was Josh Paul that dropped the ball and allowed A.J. to get to first and kept the inning alive and scored the go ahead runs.
