Well, let's see when we moved back to town after approx 7 years and mom heard a new high school had been built she was told that it was 'where the old duck farm used to be' ... I always thought that was the most notable thing about it. ...


I did look up on wikipedia about it and about the most interesting 'notable alumni' would be
Ghandia Johnson, 1987. "Survivor: Thailand contestant.
or possibly
Dennis Pepa, 1980. Bass guitar player for heavy metal group Death Angel.
or
Darren Uyenoyama, 1997. 62 kg 2007 Fila World Grappling Champion and Mixed Martial Arts fighter in the Japanese organization DREAM.

Not much to be 'famous' for, but the biggest thing I can think of about my high school, Lake County High in Leadville, is that the parking lot there is the best place to learn about doing brodies in the winter :-)

If I had graduated a few years earlier, from Leadville High School, I could claim Barry Sadler, but although I knew him, he was 'before my time' :-)

My high school was Hereford High ---- located in a very rural part of Maryland.

We were frequently called "the Hereford Hicks."

Thanks to its higher altitude (a whopping 900 feet above sea level) Hereford had its own weather forecast (the Hereford Zone).

Trenton High (NJ)
Famous for being closed for riots more than it was open in 1968 and one killing of a student during the school riot. It was an interesting year. I transferred in 69.
