Does your school have famous alumni?

Not many famous people I might say.

Famous doesn't mean rich.

I went to a small town public high school in the Midwest, and even my alma mater has a few famous alumni. If your school has been around long enough, eventually someone will end up famous. Not sure why that would factor into anyone's decision regarding school choice.

Are you referring to my school in another state, or to DD's school here in DC?

I guarantee she’s able to but not tacky enough to actually answer it.

She should be classy enough to be prepared for the tacky questions. And the answer and out school is ‘yes’. I’m pretty sure the HOS would mention one or two and bush it off with ‘they’re all listed in Wikipedia, I think’.

So are you classy enough to name your child’s school and its famous alums?

I went to a private school on the west coast but it has a ton of famous alumni. I don't think most people care although it's fun fodder for random conversations. I certainly wouldn't list that as a consideration for where my children went to school, although their private out here also has famous alumni.

Maret, no famous alumni as far as I know, and I am not worried about that.

The most famous person to graduate from my high school was an MTV VJ, so there's that.

Did you actually ask this question? Please tell me you did not use the term "famous?"

[Anonymous]

Yes. My school has both famous and rich alumni. Admissions people would/should know notable alums.

And your point?

There's a famous TikToker at my kids school.

Maybe it was “infamous”. Not sure.

Yes, definitely is the response of a Sidwell parent.
