Famous people that graduated from your school

[paperstreet]

Jay Guevara graduated from my school. Jalen Rose went to one of my schools too, Southwestern (I didn't graduate from there, but I went there for a lil bit)

There's not really a lot of famous people from SW Detroit. BMF (Free Meech and Terry), Jalen Rose, myself. That's about it that I can think of right now.

Shaggy from Scooby Doo went to the college I dropped out of apparently, the owners of the Pistons and Cavs, the black Ghostbuster, Leon Phelps the ladies man himself, Della Reese (the fat ***** that beats Eddie Murhpy's ass in Harlem Nights), along with a long list of people I don't know.
