What Was the Show About?
Each week, School Pride focused on a different public school that needed help. The show followed teachers, students, and people from the community. They all worked together to fix up their school.
The makeovers usually happened over seven days. The very first episode took ten days. A special team of organizers and famous people helped lead the volunteers. They made sure everyone stayed motivated.
After a few months, the cameras would visit the school again. This was to see how the changes had helped the community.
