This girl-loves-ghoul rock 'n' roll Off Broadway musical is set in the atomic 1950s at Enrico Fermi High, where the law is laid down by a zany, tyrannical principal. Pretty senior Toffee has fallen for the class bad boy. Family pressure forces her to end the romance, and he charges off on his motorcycle to the nuclear waste dump. He returns glowing and determined to reclaim Toffee's heart. He still wants to graduate, but most of all he wants to take Toffee to the prom. The principal orders him to drop dead while a scandal reporter seizes on him as the freak du jour. History comes to his rescue while a tuneful selection of original songs in the style of 50s hits keeps the action rocking across the stage.

We doubt the critics, reject the status quo and see opportunity in students looking for a unique learning experience. Our campus, faculty and students are driven by optimism. This passion is driving everything that we do at HCAM, and is allowing us to redefine what's possible with education as the only Magnet High School in Hickory City Schools. 

Hickory Career & Arts Magnet is the ultimate approach to high school and offers students hands-on learning opportunities focused on career interest areas.
