Ellie Bakker, the heroine of That's So High School, thought she knew everything about high school. Her own high school experiences taught her some basic truths: 1) high school romances never work out, 2) bad yearbook pictures can haunt you for years to come, and 3) prom is never as perfect as it should be. In her eighth year of teaching history at her alma mater, Ellie is constantly witness to these and other dramas of high school. When she is reluctantly put in charge of planning the prom with a committee of eager students, she becomes the subject of that drama. As prom advisor, Ellie is forced to relive some painful high school memories, especially when her high school crush and her own prom let-down, the perfect Dr. Steve Allen, re-enters her life. This heartbreaker cardiologist reminds her of the nerd she was in high school. To make matters worse, Ellie's sister, Jill, is determined to get Ellie married off before she reaches her dating expiration date. This puts Ellie in another uncomfortable setting: the dating scene. In an effort to find the perfect date for this prom, Ellie dives in to modern dating. Humorous experiences with online dating, speed dating, and blind dating lead Ellie to reevaluate her beliefs, high school and otherwise.
