Description

If you’re from St. Louis, you know about this question. If you’re NOT from St. Louis, you know about this question. Locals love talking about where they went to high school while transplants scratch their heads over the “why” St. Louisans want to know. Maybe we’re overly nostalgic or nosy, wanting an immediate profile of you, or perhaps we love our schools that much? Join us for a lighthearted look back in time at our area schools: their buildings, history, and names. Learn about such things as the St. Louis Public Schools radio station KSLH, high school reports in PROM magazine from 1947 to 1973, haunted schools, noted alums, school newspapers, and yearbooks, hangouts, sports teams, school cafeterias, teachers, sock-hops, kings and queens, radio & TV personalities visiting schools. We’ll cover over 150 years of local schools with vignettes and photos. Rabbitt will have a special guest, too. Plus, there will NOT be a homework assignment.
