Back in the 1980s, an accident at nearby Pearadyne Labs results in a black hole ([[HollywoodScience sometimes described instead as a wormhole]]) opening up in the science teacher's office at Blake Holsey High in the present day. When said black hole eats the science teacher, Professor Noel Zachary replaces him and becomes mentor to the school's science club, who proceed to investigate the strange goings-on at their school. This club being a FiveManBand consisting of four scientifically gifted students and the son of Pearadyne Labs owner Victor Pearson. Cue the experiencing of random mysterious phenomena which are presented in the guise of science as they try to uncover the secrets behind the strangeness.

Also known as ''Strange Days at Blake Holsey High'' in the United States, ''Black Hole High'' is a Canadian ScienceFiction series created by Jim Rapsas, best known for developing and producing a vast amount of the programming that aired on [[Creator/DiscoveryFamily Discovery Kids]] in the United States. The show first premiered on Global TV in Canada before airing on the aforementioned channel. The show lasted for three seasons consisting of 42 episodes, starting in October 2002 and ending with a three-part GrandFinale in January 2006.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* TonkaTough: Honorable mention for Mr. Bunnypants, who is sent through the wormhole several times in "Inquiry" and comes out none the worse for wear.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Corrine flat-out says that she's been having a crappy day in "Probability". On a Saturday morning kid's show, no less.

* BlackBestFriend: Corrine is this to Josie.

In addition to the weekly anomalies, the show was built around a series-long MythArc involving Victor Pearson's attempts to recreate the Pearadyne Labs experiment, and the club's attempts to work out the sinister implications therein. Pearson serves as the antagonist for most of the series, though [[spoiler: it is ultimately revealed that, [[GoodIsNotNice while a bit ruthless]], his motivations were ultimately noble]].

* EasyAmnesia: Professor Z in "Who?" gets his mind wiped by the wormhole. Easily fixed by the end of the episode, though ''not'' by a tap on the head--as Corrine berates Lucas for attempting earlier in the episode. Lucas' defense, despite being a science buff, is that "it worked on Gilligan's Island!"

The series shares a number of actors with Disney-produced shows of the same time period, and bears a significant structural similarity to ''Series/SoWeird''. Creator/HenryWinkler served as an executive producer and consultant on both. Stars pretty much the same cast as Series/TheZackFiles, another [[OnlySoManyCanadianActors Canadian]] paranormal live-action kid's show.

To a fairly large extent, ''Series/BlackHoleHigh'' could be considered ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' with the word "supernatural" crossed out and "science" penciled in (though with the non-violent and [[NoHuggingNoKissing non-sexual]] baggage implied by its younger target audience).[[note]]The second episode, "Invisible", for example, is a near-identical copy of the ''Buffy'' episode "Invisible Girl"; the key difference being that, rather than attributing a character's disappearance to magic, the nearby black hole caused it to be that Marshall would, as a result of feeling unnoticed, lose his ability to interact with light.[[/note]] A fairly recurring element in the show is that [[YourMindMakesItReal one's emotional state and social interactions can reshape the laws of physics]].

Canadian series, also called ''Strange Days at Blake Holsey High'' (in Canada and in the USA for reruns on The N), which ran for just over three seasons via the Jetix programming block. The series also aired on Discovery Kids and on Global TV in Canada, and still airs on Creator/ABC3 in Australia. The series lasted from October, 2002 to January, 2006 for a total of 42 episodes.

Now has a Character sheet and a Recap page which are under construction.

* FoodSlap: Frustrated with Vaugh's refusal to eat actual food in an effort to lose weight in "Nutrition," Josie ends up dumping a plate of spaghetti over his head. It snaps him out of it and becomes a weird [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming moment]] between the two of them. When Josie tells him she did it because she cares about him, Vaughn affirms he cares about her too...by dumping a plate of spaghetti over her head.

* WeightWoes: Vaughn is a rare male example in "Nutrition," when he goes to great lengths to lose weight and enter a lower wrestling weight class. He becomes addicted to wormhole-affected energy bars, which have no calories, and exercises excessively. He loses the weight, but becomes irritable, depressed, and openly hostile to Josie, who is concerned about his fixation.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The technology alone solidly dates this series. The episodes "Technology" and "Nanotechnology," as implied by their titles, are especially egregious. In "Technology," Marshall is proud to have invented speech-to-text capabilities for text messaging. For a flip phone. In "Nanotechnology," the gang wants to spy on a rival and shrink down a full-sized camcorder in order to do so.
** In addition, whenever the kids aren't in their uniforms, their fashion choices ''scream'' early-mid 2000's. It appears that Josie's fashion icon is Music/AvrilLavigne.
