We don't have a wiki page (lol), but we got a couple of folks:

- Josh Freeman, NFL QB...he's the li'l homie.
- Alec Burks, NBA player
- Josh Packwood; the first white Valedictorian at Morehouse...he is also the li'l homie,
we used to ride the same bus.

- Mark Pender from the Conan O'Brien band. He still comes back from time to time.

What was wrong with Thornwood?
We had that flop ass experiential block scheduling program bullshyt. Idk i think they were trying to go in the direction of many city schools. we had like 3 classes a day, 90 min each... and it was just a very bad idea that was done away with like 3 -4 years after i graduated. I just hated the program... had us (then later the entire school including upperclassmen) divided into 'houses' of of desired area of what wee wanted to persue post high school. It was a failed attempt at college preparation to me. However, it is what it is... We and always had the coldest track team, a decent basketball team (forgot about David Moss) and a excellent speech team. Football team was garbage tho. :russ:
