High Drama High aims to entertain kids 9-14 with the humorous exploits of Jessica and Ben, two freshmen at High Drama High who are determined to ascend to the top of the social ladder. Armed with a yearbook from the previous year, they’ve worked all summer to concoct the perfect plan to follow the exact paths of the most popular kids who came before them.
‘High Drama High is an original take on the cliques and personalities that dominate high school life,’ says Michael Goldsmith, director original content for TELETOON Canada. ‘With its smart writing and style sensibilities, I’m sure it will prove popular with our tween audiences.’
