At the beginning of season 5, it's announced that Mr. Moore got his big break, accepting the lead role in a touring version of "Death of a Salesman", and has quit teaching. Billy McGregor becomes Mr. Moore's replacement. The students are now in their final year of high school, and as the series concludes, Fillmore High School is slated for demolition immediately after graduation. The entire class graduates, with Dennis getting accepted at MIT, Arvid at Cal Tech, and Alan at Harvard. On-again off-again couple Simone and Eric, who had become engaged, decide to cancel their engagement and go their separate ways, though they don't discount the possibility of getting back together after they finish college. As well, Janice unexpectedly turns up for the graduation ceremony, as she had never formally received her high school diploma. (By this point, she had already graduated from Harvard, and was lining up a job interview at IBM.) The series concluded with the class all receiving their diplomas.
