cooley high be actually a drama with moment of comedy . it be a reflection of high school life back in the day . i attend coolidge high in washington and d. c. from 1976 to 1979 and much of what be in cooley high be an every day thing at coolidge . a a matter of fact after the movie come out everybody start call coolidge cooley high . get high and shooting dice and chase girl and basement party and and fight and that sum up high school life for many in d. c. back in the day . i can not forget motown because motown music begin and end many a day back in the 70 . the hit just keep come . however and cooley high add a layer of humanity over the craziness because when all be say and do just like in cooley high my classmate and i have a lot of love for each other . and like the character in cooley high there be life after high school and but there be nothing like wake up every morning and experience each day to the full from homeroom to seventh period . thirty year later we be get ready to celebrate those good time . cooley high be definitely a period piece that just get well with time because like it or not the only thing leave from those day be memory and some good and and some bad .
