American High School Season 1

With the end of August comes the end of summer and the promises of a new school year. For some students, this brings the promise of a fresh start, but for those whose time in high school is coming to an end, it brings a whole new set of challenges, emotions and stress. National Geographic's new four-part documentary series American High School goes inside the senior year of students from Orangeburg, South Carolina, who share the highs and lows of their academic, athletic and personal achievements over the course of one year. The emotional and inspirational story premieres on Tuesday, Sept. 26, at 9/8c, giving viewers a front-of-the-classroom seat to witness firsthand what it's like to walk those halls every day for four years.
