Making the Grade(1982)

Making the Grade is an American sitcom that aired on CBS for just five weeks in spring 1982. Set at Franklin High School in St. Louis, the show follows the daily lives of its staff: Dean of Boys Harry Barnes, Assistant Principal Jack Felspar, Drama teacher Sara Conover, and PE instructor Gus Bertoia. The ensemble cast includes James Naughton, Graham Jarvis, Alley Mills, and Steven Peterman, alongside early television roles for Philip Charles MacKenzie and George Wendt. Despite its brief run as part of CBS's Monday night comedy lineup, Making the Grade offered a lighthearted look at high school administration and faculty dynamics during the early 1980s.
