If you know the high school of the person for whom you are searching,
 the following websites offer searches of high schools throughout the US, and of American schools overseas. 

Classmates - Classmates requires you to register with it to allow you to search for someone. While it does not sell or rent your name, it does send you e-mail newsletters (which you can refuse) about its services and products, and about the services and products of other companies which are affiliated with it. Classmates earns money by selling services to its members. If you register with Classmates, you should know the name of the high school the person graduated from, the city the high school is located in, the first and last name of the person you are looking for, and when s/he graduated to run a search.

E Class Reunion which also lets you search by colleges and universities, requires you to register with its company to use its services. You will be required to submit your first name, last name, your high school’s name, the year you graduated and the city the high school is located in. This site does not sell, rent or lease your personal information to anyone, but earns money by selling links to its "Reunion Resources" page. If you register with E Class Reunion, you should know the name of the high school the person graduated from, the city the high school is located in, the first and last name of the person you are looking for, and when s/he graduated to run a search. 

High School Alumni requires you to register with its site to use its services. To register, you must give this company your name, birth date, gender, email address and zip code, and you will be asked to volunteer other information as well. This means that you may get advertising e-mail from it, and from other "third-party" service providers, for example electronic greeting card companies, that it has advertising contracts with. If you do register with the company, you must know the name of the high school of the person you are looking for graduated from.
