Check out the 2016 candidates' high school photos

High school photos of 2016 presidential candidates.

published 15 December 2015

Presidential campaigning often takes on a juvenile feel, so it seems fitting to look at the 2016 candidates' senior photos. Classmates.com has rounded up yearbook photos for 17 of this year's contenders, from a very tan Sen. Lindsey Graham to a Hillary Clinton who is more than a little reminiscent of one Tracy Flick.

The blog post sharing the photos includes poll results from an informal survey of Classmates.com members asking which candidate they would support based on the high school photos alone. Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, who is pictured in the uniform of the boarding school at which the lifelong civilian "always felt" like he was in the military, easily won with 32 percent of the votes. Clinton and Sen. Marco Rubio came in second and third, respectively.
