From the nail-biting freshman auditions to the spectacular graduation performance, FAME HIGH captures the in-class and at-home drama, competition, heartbreak, and triumph of one year following a group of struggling freshmen and seniors at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. Here, both underprivileged and privileged teenagers reach for their dreams of becoming actors, singers, dancers, and musicians.FAME HIGH is where intensely devoted teachers and highly motivated students go about the business of making the best better. But all-that-talent means all-that-pressure when students are competing for the same roles, the same teachers favors, and the same career opportunities. They are also struggling with grades, family and young love, while defying complications of race, culture, and economic challenges at every turn.
