Justin Bieber
Who doesn’t recognize this infamous shaggy haircut? Justin Bieber’s eighth-grade yearbook photo couldn’t be any cuter. He went to elementary school in Stratford at a French-language immersion Catholic school and graduated in 2008. Bieber first became famous from a video posted on YouTube of him singing a cover of Ne-Yo’s ‘So Sick’ at a local competition. A marketing executive, Scooter Braun, from So So Def Recordings, saw one of his YouTube videos and got in touch with his school.

He eventually went to Georgia with Braun and started singing for Usher. Like this isn’t cool enough, it is rumored that Justin Timberlake also wanted to sign Bieber but ended up losing the bidding war to Usher. This whole time, Bieber didn’t stop with his education. While he was making music, he continued in high school and graduated with a 4.0 GPA in 2012.
