Degrassi Junior High

“Degrassi Junior High” is an influential Canadian teen drama series that aired on CBC Television between 1987 and 1989, forming part of the beloved Degrassi franchise. The narrative weaves through the lives of students at the fictional junior high school, as they navigate complex issues like drug use, child abuse, teenage pregnancy, homosexuality, homophobia, racism, and divorce. Celebrated for its honest and nuanced depiction of teenage struggles, the show drew a sense of authenticity by featuring mostly non-professional actors.

The cast included familiar faces such as Stacie Mistysyn, Neil Hope, Anais Granofsky, and Sarah Charlesworth, previously seen in “The Kids of Degrassi Street,” though with new characters and backgrounds, making it unique rather than a direct spinoff. The legal aspects of the show were guided by Stephen Stohn, who eventually took on the role of executive producer for “Degrassi: The Next Generation.” Filming took place at the vacant Vincent Massey Public School in Etobicoke, Ontario.
