A History of
Birmingham University School

“All of us, especially the alumni of Birmingham University School, owe a huge debt to our very own Chris Thomas, Altamont alumnus (1990) and chair of our history department, for his extensive research, many interviews, and careful recounting of the history of the school. Through Chris’ words the contributions of those who shaped our heritage and that of the City of Birmingham come alive as he describes the teaching, learning, and contributions of so many. It is fitting that Chris himself exemplifies the B.U.S. motto as he continues the tradition of incredible excellence in teaching.”
