My son is now watching repeats of Good Times and was thrilled to find out that the lady who played Thelma, Bernadette Stanis, was in my chorus in high school We did a search and I found a list of "notable" folks who went to or graduated from my High School in Brooklyn:

Barbra Streisand
Gabe Kaplan
Neil Diamond

All of the above I knew about but was SHOCKED to find out the following:

Joseph Barbera of Hanna and Barbera fame
John Forsythe
Shaggy (singer)
Susan Hayward
Clive Davis of Arista Records
Earl Graves, publisher of Black Enterprise Mag
Marty Ingels
Dorothy Kilgallen (What's My Line)
Bernie Koppel of the Love Boat
Donny Most of Happy Days
Eli Wallach
Barbara Stanwyck

Man! And my son wanted to know why I wasn't on the list!!

Who went to your school?
 
Jerry Augustiniak....the drummer for the band 10 Thousand Maniacs.
 
I looked briefly, but I didn't see anyone famous. Of course, I really didn't expect to either.
 

No one famous yet.

My Best Friend from HS Brother just got drafted to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Maybe he will be famous! ;)
 
My graduating classes claim to fame is Vicky Vance. She's an astronaut that has flown in a space shuttle. I guess all that studying paid off. She was very nice, shy, studious & I was very out-going & having alot of fun! I'm very happy for her.

Edited to add that this is my 111-th post, a lucky number for me. Also, I just realized that you're looking for people that simply attended your high school, not just in your graduating class. I know I should have more there, but it will take some research. We did have people on Pro teams & such. I'm not sure about stage.
 
Um, I haven't gone ot high school yet, but Tom Brady graduated from here, and Barry Bonds went here for a while.
 
Ernest Borgnine
Rich Diana (Miami Dolphins)
Paul Fusco (Creator of ALF)

That's all I can think of right now . . .
 
Bay Lawrence who played for the Atlanta Falcons at one point. He also subbed at the HS during my Jr.-Sr. years in his down time from playing!!
 
I went to Hollywood High so there are a lot!

Heres a list of some of them: James Garner, John Ritter, Jason Robards, Stephanie Powers, Jean Peters, Rick and David Nelson, Marge Champion, Sally Kellerman, Charlene Tilton, Mickey Rooney, Scott Baio, Mike Farrell, Laurence Fishburne, Jason Robards, both Keith & Robert Carradine, Judy Garland, Fay Wray, Carole Lombard, Barbara Hershey, Nanette Fabray, Meredith Baxter, Charlene Tilton & Linda Evans, Ione Skye, Jill St. John, Tuesday Weld, Swoozie Kurtz, Sharon Tate, Stefanie Powers, director John Huston and Carol Burnett.
