Theme Primer/Introduction

Town Theme

At first glance Lantern Hill is nothing more than your typical South California community. Complete with picturesque sunsets, rolling beaches and its fair share of drama, deception, and happiness. A town where money talks and politicians play, and people's lives unfold like so much drama before the eyes of those around them.
Welcome to a place where the teenage population face the problems and daily existential questions every American youth faces. Where they deal with family, friends, and life choices. Welcome to a place where teens and adults are forced to co-exist, some better than others.

School Theme

Nestled between affluent neighborhoods, shopping centers, and other suburban conveniences sits Lantern Hill High School. Here, the upper-middle class send their children to learn and prosper. This, however, is high school. It's not all that glorious. It is filled with judgmental views, popularity contests, grueling homework, after-school activities, and hormones. Between worrying about if they will have a date for Homecoming and trying to fit in their Glee club practice, everyone is worried about how popular they are on the Morris-Meter Blog and if they will qualify for a scholarship at a state college.
