Use MySpace to Find High School Classmates

Question: Use MySpace to Find High School Classmates

Is there a way I can find high school classmates for free online? Every place I've found so far wants to charge me money!

Answer: There sure is - and it's called MySpace. Here's how you do it:

How to Find High School Classmates on MySpace

  • First, you'll need a MySpace account - you can sign up for a free MySpace account quickly and easily.
  • Next, click on the Search button at the top of the page.
  • In the middle of the Search page, you'll see a box titled Classmate Finder. Inside this box are three fields: School Name, Country, and State/Province.
  • Fill out these fields with your information.
  • You'll see a page with your school on it; click on the name of your school.
  • The next screen you'll see will give you the opportunity to refine your search. You have a few search options here: you can look for men or women, define age range, relationship status, graduation year or years attended, major and minor, clubs, fraternity, classes, and more. I would suggest starting your search pretty wide and narrowing your focus as you go; otherwise, you're going to have too strictly focused a search and might not be as successful as you would like. When you're finished, press Update.
  • That's pretty much it - I've been lucky enough to find plenty of old high school and college friends this way, and I didn't have to pay one red cent.
