Summary:

Manny Cortez has scrimped and saved to buy a two-bedroom home for his family. No sooner does the Cortez family move into the suburban school district than the local school board announces that Westbrook High will close at the end of the year and be consolidated into a new 'super-school' to save money. Long known for its extraordinary teachers and being a top school in the state, the teachers, students, and parents unite to fight back.
