All we have is the guitarist for Smash Mouth, a chess player (so Asian), and some reporter nobody's heard of. Our rival Monta Vista has a lot of famous people (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monta_Vista_High_School#Notable_alumni). >:(

Baseball players for some reason are not a rariety despite our schools small size come to think of it,

We had former RP Bobby Jones (the black Bobby Jones, not the white one w/the Mets), a pitcher whose on the White Sox 40-man, a 3rd round pick in last year's draft, and 3 or 4 other A ball or higher players

I went to high school with one of the lead actors in the Final Destination series -- Ryan Merriman.  He and I were actually good buddies back in the day and only lived less than half a mile from each other.  He also starred in the mid-1990s sitcom "Mommies".

Probably, since the deceased Minnesota senator had been a wrestling champion and was born in D.C.
