[edit] Degrassi Community School
Degrassi Community School opened, in 2001, and was the school that held the Degrassi High reunion. At first it was just a Junior High School, taking up grades from 7th-8th grade, but in 2002, Degrassi intergrated into a High school as well. It seems that after the final group of 8th graders, from it's original opening, reached the 9th grade, Degrassi Community School became a High School instead. 7th, and 8th graders no longer attended the school.

[edit] School Shooting
In 2004, Rick Murray, a 10th grader, brought a hand gun to school, after having paint poured on him after he won the Whack-Your-Brain Competition. It is believed that he first wanted to shoot 11th grader Paige Michalchuk in the cafe. After she unknowingly defused the situation he put his gun back into his locker, but after hearing some untrue information from Spinner Mason and Jay Hogart, he shoots Jimmy Brooks in the back. The school is put on lockdown, as students flee from the gun wielding student. Emma Nelson, Toby Isaacs, and Sean Cameron run into Rick, and he tried to shoot Emma in the head, but Sean grabs the gun. When the gun goes off while they are fighting for it, Sean gets grazed by the bullet, while Rick dies. The school remains on lockdown for a few more hours, before students were let out to their parents. Degrassi now has a zero tolerance policy for bullying.
