It’s the first question we ask in St. Louis whenever we meet someone new: “Where did you go to high school?”
It’s how we figure out where you’re from and how you grew up. It’s also how we figure out if we know any of the same people. This is a big-small town, after all, and we all want to know if we have anything in common.
From historic names to superstars, all of these celebrities attended St. Louis area high schools. You’ll want to try to remember some of these for your next trivia night.
