At Boston’s inner-city Winslow High School, Principal Steven Harper (Chi McBride) works hard to make sure the school’s students become smarter and better.
Working with him is Vice-Principal and strict disciplinarian Scott Guber (Anthony Heald) and school secretary Louisa Fenn (Rashida Jones).
Other members of the faculty include attractive Social Studies department head, Lauren Davis (Jessalyn Gilsig); 80-year-old history teacher, Harvey Lipschultz (Fyvush Finkel); nerdy English teacher, Milton Buttle (Joey Slotnick); the beautiful but bipolar music instructor, Marilyn Sudor (Sharon Leal); a rebellious geology teacher, Harry Senate (Nicky Katt); alcoholic special education teacher, Marla Hendricks (Loretta Devine); intense football coach, Kevin Riley (Thomas McCarthy); strong-willed humanities teacher, Danny Hanson (Michael Rapaport); and Ronnie Cooke (Jeri Ryan), a successful lawyer who has turned to teaching.
