None that i'm aware of. I doubt anyone from my high school has even met a famous person, myself included.
 
A couple of NFL players most not known

Avon Cobourn
Phil Costa
Wali Lundy

And a few lesser known film people, including one guy in my class who got an Oscar for working on the visual effects for Life of Pi.
 
Kenny Chesny graduated from the College I went to. Steve Spurrier went to high school I graduated from.
 
Graduated before me but knew them: Rodney Peete, Jay Dobyns, and Sammy Khalifa.
Went to High School at the same time: Brooke Burke.
 
John Havlicek- Best 6 th. Man to ever play basketball

The rest were murderers and rapists known only locally.
 
Had a dream once about going to school with someone like Jessica Szohr (Wow!), but am stuck saying Cliff Lee (MLB Pitcher, 2008 Cy Young winner)
 
Don Maynard World Champion Wide Receiver New York Jets. Caught the winning ball that made Joe so famous, and a Hall of Famer from Colorado City Tx
 
Melissa Joan Hart was in the grade below me.

Does she still count? I don't think so.
 
Kurt cobain went here and one Of Nirvanas albums is named for a river I fish on.

That's pretty rad. "Wishka"? If my memory serves me correctly.
 
Graduated with Teagan Presley. Of course, that's not the name she graduated with.... Not super famous I guess, but the most from my graduating class that I can think of...
 
I had to look up the info on Wiki, but apparently Jim Chaney the Offensive Coordinator for Arkansas is as big as our town gets. As mentioned for several other small towns, murderers and rapist are the most famous.
 
Dick Yuengling - Owner of Yuengling Brewing
Chris Napholz - MLB player

There might be others but they are the two off the top of my head.
