Description
What's it like to be an insider at a typical high school? Find out as HBO presents this hilarious, but brutally honest look at modern-day high-school life. The show follows the journey of three diverse characters--each impeccably played by writer/creator Chris Lilley--over the course of one semester at Summer Heights High. Over the course of eight half-hour episodes, the series documents the public-school experience through the eyes of two students and one teacher: Jonah, a charmingly unruly middle schooler; Ja'mie, a conniving private-school exchange student; and Mr. G, a delusional drama teacher.
