Plot
It's the final week of senior year at American High School and Gwen Adams (Murray) considers divorcing her new husband Holden Adams {Torriero), whom she married because her rival Hilary Weiss (O'Day) is also trying to be his girlfriend. She faces the problems created by Hilary's plot to become Prom Queen and decides to run for Prom Queen herself. The married couple are caught having sex by Principal Mann (Klebba). The principal faces forced resignation and hatches a plan with Gwen, another teacher and some other students, to get her job back from Ms. Apple (Ziering). She is late crowned Prom Queen (albeit by shredding Hilary's votes earlier), she dumps her husband and decides she is leaving town and so is now finally free of Hilary. As the film ends, Hilary is shown getting rejected by the male students because of her promiscuous behaviour.Cast
