Plot
Before GLEE, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL, or even the movie GREASE, four young film school graduates created this all-singing, all-dancing, award-winning musical. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL pokes fun at 1970s school traditions while following an awkward 8th grade boy's pursuit of the most beautiful girl on campus.
