- On January 14th, 2000, the first show of Higher Ground was aired on Fox Family Channel.

- Higher Ground, intitially titled Cliffhangers, was a one-hour drama about Horizon, a school for troubled teens, and the students within its walls.


- The show dealt with such issues as:

    Drug Abuse
    Sexual Abuse
    Verbal Abuse
    Self-Mutilation
    Eating Disorders (Bulimia)
    Neglect
    Suicide

- The network that originally aired the show -- Fox Family Channel -- was new, and unexperienced. Unfortunately, becuase of this and other factors, Higher Ground was not advertised well. After the first season was aired, limited effort was made to sell the show to other networks. As a result, Higher Ground was not renewed for another season, and was not picked up by another channel.

- The combination of talented writers and actors/actresses, as well as the rest of the crew of the production, produced a fabulous show. All of those who watched it from the start knew that it was a great show with a future.

- Since the last show of the season aired, many more people have fallen in love with Higher Ground with syndications airing on several networks.

- The show has yet to be formally released to VHS/DVD.
