When brothers Jeff, Mike and Bill Hannon get together, the talk sometimes goes back to Notre Dame High School, from which the three graduated. After all, they certainly have a lot to talk about since their high school years overlapped-to the day! You see, the Hannon brothers represent the only triplets in history to graduate from Notre Dame-Harper Woods or Pontiac-and in the Hannons' case, that graduation day was in 1986. 

Editor's note: Pontiac Notre Dame currently enrolls triplets Sarah, Katherine and Allison Bauer, who are juniors.

For Mike Hannon, it really wasn't a big deal that his two brothers were in the same school at the same time. 

Sure, they sometimes played sports together-either on the track or football teams. "But during the school day, we had different class and subject interests outside of the required courses," he said, "so we didn't see each other that often during the day, especially after freshman year. It was funny, though, when kids sometimes would approach me in the hallway and just assume I knew precisely where my brothers were at all times-'Don't you guys have telepathy or something?'"

Jeff Hannon said when they were growing up in Roseville, and then in grade school at St. Germaine, the three of them really didn't know too much about Notre Dame other than the fact that it "unfortunately" was an all-boys school. But as is the case with most 8th graders, it was their parents who made the final decision for their high school. And Jeff thinks it was the perfect decision.
