I just receive my intervierer's CV and dd her on the linkedin.
Suprisingly I found that she was graduated from my high school. It is not a top / famous school in the city, and didn't had many graduates each year...
Thus I'm wondering, can I bring this up in the interview? If so, when? At the end?
Thanks:)!!
Hi,
You can just mention the school in the story about yourself. Don't mention though that you realize you both have the same background.

Absolutely - you should definitely bring this up during the interview.
Part of the personal fit interview is your ability to make a meaningful connection with your interviewer (this is simulating a real client situation). This is considerably easier if you have a similar background or mutual interests.
Fully agree with Mathias
To answer the second part of your question, I would do it during the beginning of the interview. Maybe something like 'Hi it's so nice to meet a fellow alum of '...' Highschool!' And let the conversation flow from there.
