School Pride (2010)

School Pride is a reality series that empowers communities to take charge and transform their broken schools by renovating these educational institutions. A team of experts lend expertise in the makeover process, but it's ultimately up to the students, teachers and community to execute the restoration. Making use of local businesses and skilled local labor, the community will make over classrooms, public spaces, athletic facilities, and art and music halls. The work will include everything from painting and carpeting to improving utilities and updating technology systems. Cameras document their progress, revealing multiple surprises along the way and, ultimately, concluding with the unveiling of a completely transformed school. Inspired by a successful revitalization effort in Compton, California, School Pride will encourage students in all locations to take more pride and improve academic achievement through the revitalization of their school and community.
