Auf der Kennedy-Highschool gibt es zwei rivalisierende Cliquen. In allen Belangen und Lebenseinstellungen sind die beiden Cliquen so unterschiedlich wie nur eben denkbar. Während die populären, reichen Luxus-Teenies unter ihrer Hauptexponentin Brooke McQueen (Leslie Bibb) den Inbegriff des gesellschaftlichen Erfolgs verkörpern, lassen es die unpopulären, weil normalen Youngsters mit Sam McPherson (Carly Pope) eher ruhig angehen. Brooke McQueen, die Anführerin der „populären“ Gruppe, ist bildhübsch und Leiterin der Cheerleader. Sie ist der Inbegriff der „Schulkönigin“, denn natürlich hat sie auch den passenden Boyfriend zu ihrem Ehrenamt: Josh Ford (Bryce Johnson), den umschwärmten Quarterback des Footballteams. Zu Brookes Freunden gehören die launische Nicole (Tammy Lynn Michaels), Mary Cherry (Leslie Grossman) und Michael Bernardino (Ron Lester), der von allen nur „Sugar Daddy“ genannt wird. Die andere Gruppe, die von Sam angeführt wird, ist eher alternativ eingestellt. Sie sind alle nicht wirklich unbeliebt, aber zu den „Coolen“ der Schule gehören sie auch nicht. Da ist zunächst Sam selbst, ein Mädchen mit geringem Selbstvertrauen und natürlich noch keinem Freund. Dazu gesellen sich noch Harrison (Chritsopher Gorham), ein eher unscheinbarer Typ, Carmen Ferrara (Sara Rue) ein dickes Mädchen mit einem großen Herzen und Lily (Tamara Mello), die manchmal etwas verwirrt scheint und eher aussieht wie ein Junge. Beide Cliquen leben in ihren eigenen Welten und versuchen den Kontakt untereinander zu vermeiden. Für Sam und Brooke kommt es allerdings zum Super-Gau: Sams verwitwete Mutter und Brookes geschiedener Vater haben sich auf einer gemeinsamen Kreuzfahrt kennengelernt und miteinander verlobt. Ein Schock für die beiden konkurrierenden Mädchen, denn nun müssen sie sich an den Gedanken gewöhnen, gemeinsam in einer Familie und unter einem Dach zu leben. Dort können sie sich nicht ausweichen. Die beiden unterschiedlichen Welten treffen aufeinander – und das ist ein schwieriger Prozess.

Degrassi Junior High is a Canadian CBC Television teen drama series that was produced from 1987-1989 as part of the Degrassi series. The show followed the lives of a group of students attending the titular fictional school. Many episodes tackled difficult topics such as drug use, child abuse, teenage pregnancy, homosexuality, homophobia, racism, and divorce, and the series was acclaimed for its sensitive and realistic portrayal of the challenges of teenage life. The cast comprised mainly non-professional actors, which added to the show's sense of realism. The series featured many of the same actors who had starred on The Kids of Degrassi Street a few years earlier, including Stacie Mistysyn, Neil Hope, Anais Granofsky, Sarah Charlesworth and others. However, their character names and family situations had been changed, so Degrassi Junior High cannot, therefore, be considered a direct spinoff. The legal counsel for all the episodes was Stephen Stohn who later became the executive producer of Degrassi: The Next Generation. The series was filmed at the unused Vincent Massey Public School in Etobicoke, Ontario.
