In this reinvention of the 1980's c, the series revolves around teenagers who lived on or near De Grassi Street in Toronto, Ontario. These teenagers attend Degrassi Community School. They endure the harsh realities of high school such as sex, abuse, romance, homosexuality, religion and addictions. During the sixth season, students who graduated from Degrassi navigate their way through the real world or university.

Amongst the new generation of kids, alumnis from the original series provide roles as either a parent or a teacher.

Theme Song Lyrics

Whatever it takes, I know I can make it through (Oh yeah) If I hold out, (If I do) I know I can make it through, Be the best, (The best I can be. You know what I say to you) Whatever it takes, (I can see it) I know can I can make it (I know, I know ahh) I know I can make it through
