Jessica Alba went to my junior high school (El Roble in Claremont,CA) and may have gone the same time as me since she's less than a year younger. Ironically IMDB says she graduated high school (not in Claremont that I recall) in 1997. Maybe she graduated early or got enrolled at an early age or something. I graduated high school in 1999. My half-sister (who will be a junior in a month) goes to Claremont High with a cousin of Jessica's.
Ben Harper went to my high school (Claremont) and graduated in 87. He even spoke at the 03 graduation ceremonies at the school's new football field when the football field was completed (our home games before were played at Bonita High in La Verne,CA). When I graduated, it was at one of the prestigious Claremont colleges on their football field. Some relatives of Harper own a folk music store/shop in downtown Claremont. The Hudlin brothers/directors (Menace II Society, Dead Presidents,From Hell) went there as well and grew up in Pomona,CA.
Mark McGwire grew up in Claremont even though he went to an all-boys high school in San Dimas,CA (Damien High).
