don't know about athletes in all sports but the most in the NFL are from:

quote:
DEMATHA DEROCKS: The high school with the most current NFL players is DeMatha Catholic (Hyattsville, Md.) with seven. Those players are Quinn Ojinaka (Falcons), John Owens (Seahawks), Derek Wake (Dolphins), Brian Westbrook (Eagles), Byron Westbrook (Redskins), Josh Wilson (Seahawks) and Edwin Williams (Redskins).

Long Beach Poly

Would be my pick for most athletes overall and at one time SI agreed:
LINK

quote:
1. LONG BEACH POLY Enrollment: 4,750 With apologies to USC, Long Beach Poly has the most celebrated football program in Southern California. Since 1996 Poly has gone undefeated three times and won five championships in the ferociously competitive California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern Section. In the school's 110-year history four-dozen grads have gone on to the NFL, including eight who were on opening week rosters in 2004. The track program is even more dominant than the football squad, with the boys' and girls' teams having won a combined seven state titles since 1997.Poly is also a powerhouse in the country club games. The boys' golf team went undefeated in the league last year, and the boys' tennis team has been to the CIF section finals two years in a row. Even the cross-country and badminton teams kick serious butt, each having won three straight league titles.

Link telling more is dead but I know there are a lot of NFL and Major Leage Baseball players from there. Snoop Dogg and Cameron Diaz too!

2. DEMATHA (Hyattsville, Md.)
3. SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS (Fort Lauderdale)
4. PUNAHOU (Honolulu)
5. CHERRY CREEK (Greenwood Village, Colo.)

A litter curve here...

Class C Summmerfield in Claiborne Parish is probably one of the few if not the only school it's size that's produced players in the NFL, NBA & WNBA...not to mention a player in the ABA back in the day.

All they have is basketball and baseball.

I know it's not the most, but per capita, Leesville has had a shite ton.
NFL
Eddie Fuller
Kevin Mawae
Raymond Smoot
Kavika Pittman
Cecil Collins
Keith Smith
Keith Zinger
Gijon Robinson

we've had 2 get to the double/triple A level in Baseball and Demond Mallet is playing professional B-ball in Europe. I honestly believe if he didn't have that injury to his throat at McNeese he would have been running point for an NBA team but I'm a bit biased.
