High School Plot Summary
What happens in High School from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In the seemingly ordinary corridors of Marion Barry High School, Richard Clark, a prep school refugee, takes on a teaching role, much to the chagrin of his father, Thaddeus Clark, the prestigious headmaster at Wellington Academy. The stark contrast between the chaotic atmosphere of this inner-city school and the polished surroundings he was accustomed to is evident, as he encounters his disheveled students and an uninspired faculty, including the somewhat lackluster Evelyn Doyle and her cheerful yet bland assistant, Victoria Chappell (who would eventually capture Richard’s heart), along with student Griff McReynolds.
