I wonder if any of us are alums of the same schools? My HS and undergraduate colleges: [Greenwich High School, Greenwich, CT](http://home.greenwich.k12.ct.us/ghs/) [Simon’s Rock College, Great Barrington, MA](http://www.simons-rock.edu) [Pitzer College, Claremont, CA](http://www.pitzer.edu) And you? ---

I bet I’m the only Doper that went to Laker High School in Pigeon, Michigan… serving the towns of Elkton, Pigeon, and Bay Port. (And still only 105 in my graduating class of 1986.) Also went to Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, and University of North Carolina Asheville. ---

I went to probably one of the more famous high school campuses in the world: [Palisades High School, Pacific Palisades, CA.](http://www.lausd.k12.ca.us/Palisades_Charter_HS/) It has been featured in a lot of TV shows and movies. Most recently it was used as the school setting for _Freaky Friday_, starring Lindsay Lohan and Jaime Lynn Curtis. And college: [Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA](http://www.cuesta.edu/index.asp) ---

Challis High School, Challis Idaho Bishop Kelly High School, Boise Idaho Golden West College, Huntington Beach California and finally University of Southern California, Los Angeles California I can guarentee that only one other doper went to Challis HS, and I introduced him to the board. ---

I went to Westmont High School in Campbell, California. I did my lower division college stuff at West Valley College in Saratoga, and I currently attend San Jose State University. Sometimes it’s sad that my entire education took place within a 10 mile radius. ---

I dropped out of Treadwell High School back in '88. Got my GED and went on to drop out of State Technical Institute (later renamed something else I can’t remember) in '91. Then I registered at University of Memphis in '94 but I don’t think I finished a single class. It’s the schools, I tell you. They just weren’t FUN enough. ---

Dropped out of Central High School - Grand Junction, CO Graduated from Antelope Valley College, aka Tumbleweed Tech 2004 (AA). I know that **Exploding Kitchen** goes there now. And no, I didn’t stop in between for a GED, although I think they make you do that now if you haven’t got a diploma. Filling out the UCLA application again in October, I imagine they’ll let me in a second time. ---

Lessee… West Hollywood (elementary), graduated from 6th grade in 1969. Cool area, two blocks south of Sunset Strip in the 1960s. Emerson JHS '72. Now it’s called a ‘middle school’…and they wear uniforms! (In Westwood). University High School '75. (In West L.A). Used in lots of location shoots. UC San Diego (Revelle College) '80 UCLA Graduate School of Library and Information Science '84 Almost forgot: University of Gottingen (Junior Year Abroad program). Quite a number of renowned worthies have been to that one. ---
