Among the comments:

I met my wife at TJ. Went to homecoming with her freshman year. This random girl I met during the first week of high school turned out to be better than any girl I met while in college at Yale... the statistical chances of meeting that type of high quality person at any other high school are low... and TJ is flooded with these people.

It was really great and the first time of being in an environment where academic accomplishments were encouraged.

I had a great experience at Thomas Jefferson, and to me the benefits were well worth the sacrifices. Of any single decision in my life, the decision to go to TJ has made the biggest impact.

In a single word: awesome. I had some of my fondest memories, made some of my best friends, and learned some of my most important life lessons at TJ. My experience in Silicon Valley is the only thing that remotely compares to that which I had at TJ.

Another interesting phenomenon is the prestige that a diploma from TJ carries. Well, I can't speak for employers, but a lot of the people I met during college would look at me in awe (and maybe a tinge of envy) after I mentioned where I went to high school. I mean, we both ended up at the same college, but here they were treating me like some sort of demi-god! It's pretty funny, actually -- especially in light of all the above stuff I shared. This occurred with strangers as well. People were way more impressed with where I went to high school than my alma mater (go Tribe!). I am surprised I got into TJ. But despite everything I said, I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to attend if I had to relive it all.
