Degrassi Junior High

Degrassi Junior High is a Canadian television series and the second series in the Degrassi franchise, which was created by Kit Hood and Linda Schuyler in 1979. The program, a successor but not a direct spinoff to The Kids of Degrassi Street, debuted on CBC on 18 January 1987, and ended after three seasons on 27 February 1989. The series also debuted on PBS in the United States on 26 September 1987 and ended there on 15 April 1989. The series centers around an ensemble cast of seventh and eighth grade students attending the titular Degrassi Junior High School, as they face various issues and challenges including substance abuse, child abuse, teenage pregnancy, homophobia, and racism. The series often mixed comedy and drama, with more light-hearted secondary plotlines. The show was viewed by Hood & Schuyler as a reaction to what they felt was a lack of television shows that properly portrayed teenage life.
