Welcome to Hawthorne Academy
Hawthorne Academy, a prestigious school. Once nothing more than a private school for the richest of the rich in the upper part of Los Angeles, the school made quite the name for itself -- but as it turns out, trying to maintain a decent enough student population when your school is known for being incredibly expensive and hard to get in can well... well, it can really affect the school. So thanks to these decreasing numbers, the school decided to drop applications and become a school that is actually open to students from all walks of life and since this happened, the student population has increased.
After all, you can't beat a killer education for no price.
Of course, this means there's plenty of riffraff now walking through the halls. Quite the stark contrast compared to the richer, upper class students -- many of whom are famous.
Oh, what's that? Famous? Yep, you heard right. Before Hawthorne Academy became a generalized school, it was known for being an arts school -- and still, many young people with dreams of being famous, along with children of famous parents, still attend the school for its prestigious art program. So yeah, don't be surprised if you're casually walking the halls and then bam, there's the Justin Bieber of this generation.
On top of this, Hawthorne Academy boasts on being a very open campus to all walks of life and cultures. So yes, there's plenty of foreign exchange students, many of whom stay with the more well-known, prestigious students.
So as the little explanation states, this is basically just a high school roleplay set in Los Angeles. It just happens to be one that's kind of on the upper side, although people from all walks of life are definitely allowed in the school.
With that being said, there is also an arts program that some students are involved in. Think Disney stars but remove the cheesy Disney-ness (maybe -- some of them probably are). Not all students need to be famous or involved in this, of course. Plus, don't feel as if your character must be limited to being from LA or the states in general. Exchange students are more than welcome and even encouraged.
We'll be going through "seasons," which will incorporate pretty much the whole school year. Kind of from first day of school-ish to graduation, and we'll go from there. Don't worry! Your seniors will still have an opportunity for a spinoff rp once the school year is over. There'll be a calendar with different "episodes," which serve as the scene for the various skips.
