And there are probably others!

There is Lafayette County in Florida and it is pronounced La-fee-ette.

I was adopted by '83 when I transferred in from Virginia in to the '82 class, so I attend back to back reunions. I couldn't find an Anna on the '83 attendee list, but found one on the '82.

My Anna was later than that. Her reunion must have been more informal, but she kept mentioning it on FB.

Because Franklin is such an endurance race from application to graduation, there is great bonding among the students. I wasn't the only crasher at the reunion, the class from '83 is super fun, and not as self impressed as my class. By the way, I died laughing when my half brother moved to New Orleans from Alabama, never having lived there before, and then met and married . . .
Wait for it . . .
A Franklin girl! She's like 15 years younger than me (he's 12 years younger) but she is a wonderful SIL and mother to my niece and nephew.

I feel like I know so much about Franklin because of Anna and another AOII sister from there. The only other HS in NO that I know about because of all the sisters from this school is Mt. Carmel.

Linguistic conflicts
I read an article today that reminded me of this thread. It's 22 maps that show the deepest linguistic conflicts in America.
