Hull High

Hull High (also known as Hull Street High) is an American musical teen comedy television series which aired on NBC from August 20 to December 30, 1990. The series was created and executive produced by Gil Grant.

Synopsis
Hull High told the story of Cordell Hull High School, a hip, racially diverse high school in an urban area. The series involved elements of soap opera (the ongoing and evolving relationships among teachers and students), humor, and musical dance numbers. Episodes featured The Hull High Devils, something of a rap Greek chorus, whose songs related to the episode's plot. The main adult character was history teacher John Deerborn (Will Lyman).

Similar to ABC's Cop Rock (which premiered a month after Hull High), the series' format proved unsuccessful and Hull High was canceled after six episodes due to low ratings (a total of nine episodes were produced, leaving three unaired).

Production notes
The series was filmed at El Camino Real High School in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California. The musical numbers were choreographed by Peggy Holmes and Kenny Ortega (who also directed episodes). Songs for Hull High were written by Jon Lind, Tom Snow, and Brock Walsh. Don Was served as the series' music producer.
