School's Out! (also referred to on home video as Degrassi High: School's Out) is a 1992 Canadian made-for-television drama film written by Yan Moore and directed by Kit Hood, and the feature-length finale of the teen drama series Degrassi High (and predecessor Degrassi Junior High). Premiering on CBC Television on January 5, 1992, it was intended to be the end of the Degrassi franchise, until its revival in 2001 with Degrassi: The Next Generation. The movie, centered on the Degrassi students during their first summer post-graduation, primarily focuses on the relationship between Joey Jeremiah (Pat Mastroianni) and Caitlin Ryan (Stacie Mistysyn); after Caitlin politely rejects Joey's marriage proposal, he begins becoming romantically involved with Tessa Campanelli (Kirsten Bourne), while also still being involved with Caitlin; he has sex with both, with Tessa being first, and brags about it with his friends. Later, Joey's friend Archie "Snake" Simpson (Stefan Brogren), frustrated of his inability to get a girlfriend, ultimately reveals this fact at a party while Caitlin is in the same room, causing her to break the relationship off. Joey and Snake's friend, Derek "Wheels" Wheeler (Neil Hope) starts drinking heavily, resulting in a car crash which kills a two year old boy and blinds the class valedictorian Lucy Fernandez (Anais Granofsky). The movie was noted for its inclusion of coarse language and more sexually-oriented content as opposed to the television series, including two instances of the word "fuck" during the movie's climax, and a scene depicting how a condom is applied, despite the CBC's refusal to run condom commercials. The film marked the first time "fuck" was uttered on Canadian television. The film received a positive critical reception after its initial broadcast, although some reviews were mixed. In Canada, it drew in 2.3 million viewers, double that of what the preceding series usually received. In 1993, it was nominated for a Gemini Award for Best TV Movie. Plot The movie begins as the class of 1992 graduates, and everyone begins to make plans for the summer and their future. Joey Jeremiah (Pat Mastroianni), who was held back a year in Degrassi Junior High, prepares for another year of high school; conversely, his longtime girlfriend Caitlin Ryan (Stacie Mistysyn) graduates with Joey's former peers after having taken extra classes and completing high school in three years instead of four. She, Lucy Fernandez (Anais Granofsky), and Joey's friend Snake (Stefan Brogren), who
