Introducing Here From There

Here From There: Conversations with Burroughs Alums

Since 1923, graduates of John Burroughs School have left the St. Louis campus and found their way to fascinating lives and livelihoods all over the world. Longtime Burroughs teacher John Pierson loves a good story. And when he sits down with alums of the school, there are always good stories to be had. Some are about their days at 755 South Price Road. Some are about their careers. And some are about their personal journeys.

For current Burroughs students and families, these stories might just offer a roadmap for the future along with an important reminder: there are many paths that can lead to the life and career ahead of you, and your future will very likely be not all what you're planning on, but it also might just wind up be so much more than you can know.

For Burroughs alumni, these same stories will be a great way for some of you to reconnect with old classmates. And many of you will find all new connections as you're introduced to people you've never met, but with whom you share a bond that can transcend generations.

And for anyone else who wants to listen? Fascinating people are still fascinating people, no matter your connection with them! Check out an episode that features someone working in a field that interests you and learn something new about a unique journey through life.

Unique journeys. Unique stories. Unique people. All with something in common. They have all made it to somewhere in life that is very much their own, but they all started out at the same small school in St. Louis. Listen in as they tell us how they got here from there.

Here From There is hosted by John Pierson.
