I don't remember any at my high school, but at my son and daughter's school there have been many.
Ajay Naidu (1990) - he's been in movies and tv (the best known is probably in an episode of the West Wing in which he was detained as a terrorist and cleared). He was Samir Naga-Naga-Naga
in Office Space.
My high school has several famous, infamous, and semi-famous alumni (including a few from my graduating class). There are a few TV actors/personalities, a few Broadway/West End/regional theatre actors/dancers/producers, a few people who work "behind the scenes" in movies and or TV, and a few athletes, in addition to some infamous alumni who have been in the news for one reason or another.
I don't want to name who they are because that then discloses where I went to school and when.
I went to several different colleges, so I am not sure which school to "claim" in terms of famous alumni.

Only one, and it was summer school art class. Markie Post, from Night Court and Fall Guy sat next to me. We were friendly but never dated or anything as she was 2 years older. Haven't seen her since, except on TV.
From my alma mater, Chuck Noll and Tom Weiskopf would probably be the most recognizable national names, though a number of other locally popular folks attended as well.
I went to college with Ben Stiller's sister, Amy. Also during my 4-year stint I walked down Beacon Street with fellow students Actor/Comedieans Mario Cantone and Eddy Brill, actor/producer Denis Leary, Bobbi Brown (the makeup company founder, not the video jockey), Doug Herzog and I lived on the same floor in our dorm building and used to hang out sometimes (the executive producer of MTV), and Rugrats screenwriter Kate Boutillier. They weren't all in the same graduating class but we were all students at the same point during the four-year window. Denis Leary also taught for one semester after he graduated and I was a student in his class. Mario Cantone and I used to hang out at "the wall" together once in awhile between classes; he was as funny and charming and loveable off-stage as he is on-stage.
In addition, I had the privilege to share a small dorm (30 people total in a brownstone mansion) with Jennifer Estes. She died from ALS in 2003, but during her short life she managed to found a theatre company in NY, co-found one in Nantucket, and write a book about her life and illness. She also testified before a Senate subcommittee about ALS and the importance of ALS research.
I went to school with the Live (the band). One of the member was actually my classmate.
