Graduating High School is a fork in the road for Americans, but even more so if you are African-American. For this school’s seniors, 2016 was their make-or-break year.
Filmed over the course of a year at a High School in South Carolina, American High School follows a charismatic principal and his students, including star football players, Ivy League hopefuls, male cheerleaders and young mothers as they prepare for the next step in life.
The series reveals life through the eyes of young African-Americans, from Homecoming to graduation; from dates at the diner to senior Prom, and captures life-changing moments on the journey to adulthood. This is a High School as you’ve never seen it before, and a unique insight into how it really feels to be young and black in America today.
