Hamilton HS

Set in a competitive American high school in the early 2000s, Hamilton is reimagined as a fast-paced teen drama about ambition, rivalry, and reputation. Alexander Hamilton is a driven transfer student from a rough background who quickly makes a name for himself through his intelligence, sharp tongue, and relentless work ethic. He rises through debate club, the school newspaper, and student government, earning the attention of the respected principal, George Washington. Hamilton’s closest ally—and eventual rival—is Aaron Burr, a popular honor student who believes in patience and playing by the rules. While Hamilton charges ahead without fear, Burr waits for the perfect moment, quietly competing for the same recognition and leadership. Hamilton falls in love with Eliza Schuyler, a kind and steady student who believes in his potential, while her older sister Angelica challenges him intellectually and sees both his brilliance and his flaws. As Hamilton’s influence grows, so does his ego, leading to reckless decisions that spark scandal and fracture his relationships. A public controversy, a broken trust, and a tragic incident involving someone who looks up to him force Hamilton to confront the cost of his ambition. In their final year, Hamilton and Burr face off in a heated student government election that ends their friendship for good. The story closes with both boys achieving what they wanted—but at a price—leaving behind a school that will never forget their names.
