School Pride

School Pride is an inspirational makeover series on NBC, with the lofty goal of transforming America's public education system from the surface down. School Pride's premise is based on studies that show that students at beautiful schools achieve greater scholastic achievement. Each week, NBC's makeover team renovates a rundown school and then chronicles, on television, how school pride grows. Throw in some surprise celebrity appearances, some touching personal stories from those affected in the community, and a time limit and then all the ingredients for a dramatic, inspirational television show. Every Friday night, join School Pride's motivated team of SWAT Commander Tom Stroup, interior designer Susie Castillo, comedian and former substitute teacher Kim Whitley, and political correspondent Jacob Soboroff for an empowering look at what hard work, and a generous sprinkling of some Hollywood magic, can do for struggling American public schools and the students and teachers that pursue education in them.
