Often, people get busy after high school to achieve a career and lose track of their friends at school. One fine day when you visit your home town where you did schooling, you start missing your old days. It is when you think of getting in touch with your old friends from high school.
But it is not always necessary that a friend of yours must be using the same number you have. So, how can you get in touch with him or her next?
Here are some of the ways that you can try out.
Search your School Records:
One way you can try out is to search for the contacts of the person the school records. You can visit the high school where you and your friend went together and show up your identity to the authorities. Now, ask for the contact details of the friend whom you are searching for. Some schools have strict rules of not disclosing such information to anyone. While on the other hand, if the management gains trust in you, they can surely help you get your friend's contact details.
Scan Social Media:
If the high school authority denies helping you, another trick you can use is to scan through the social media platforms. There are several ways how you can search for your friend from high school on social media.
-
You may have at least some friends from your high school on your Facebook friend list. Ask them to help you if they have this old friend of yours on their friend list.
-
If you notice any Facebook group by your high school's name, you can search your friend over there too.

Lastly, you can start searching for your friend with his or her full name. If you know the place where he or she stays, you can use that location also to narrow the search.
People Search Engine:
What if the person does not use any social media platform? Also, there are chances that the person may have created the profile with some other created name. It will be impossible to find people on the net in such a case. This is the time when a people search engine can get help from you.
There are different ways how the people search engine can help you in finding people on the net.
Another filter that you can use in people search engines (like this one) is that of the location. You can make use of the location at which the person is residing to get a proper detail. You can put up any detail such as the city or the state or even the pin code to search for the person.
Search by Name:
The very first way is to search the person by his or her name. You can try using the first name of the person, but this will usually bring a huge list of people in front of you. Of course, if the name is quite unusual, you may get a few people to search for.

Use the first name and the last name of the person to narrow the search and get lesser results from which searching will get much convenient.
Search by Location:
If you are still getting a massive list of people after using the person's full name, you will have two options. Either you have to check out all the people one by one to get through the right one, or you can use some other filters too. Another filter that you can use is that of the location. You can make use of the location at which the person is residing to get a proper detail. You can put up any detail such as the city or the state or even the pin code to search for the person.
After you have got the results, you should check the individuals to get through the right person. As you check through the details, you will come across education options to notice the high school in which you both studied. This should be the right person whom you are searching for.
When you get in touch with a high school friend after years, you both bring back old memories. Options like people search engines help you get in touch with such old pals and get back in touch with them once again.
