Tracy Flick Can't Win

Tracy is an assistant principal. She took over when the current principal took a leave of absence. However she went back to her assistant position when the principal returned. Tracy originally wanted to be president of the USA. She went to college to study law. However towards the end of her college years, she was informed that her mom's health was very poor. She had to leave law school, never to return.

Now that the current principal is retiring, Tracy believes it is her turn to become principal. She is essentially handling all the duties now. A rich guy who leads the board backs Tracy. So all seems well. But the football team is not doing well. The rich guy courts a former great football coach that went on to coach college. This coach will return, but only if he is given the school principal position. He sucked as an administrator in the past.

Tracy had been working on a new hall of fame at the school. Two people were being inducted at the kick off. One was a former football star who went on to the NFL. The other was Diane, the receptionist of 30 years at the school. Another study had a long time grudge with the football star. He assassinated the football guy at the induction ceremony. Tracy tried to protect the football guy and got shot herself twice.

The football coach decided to pass on the principal position. Tracy got the job after all. She is recovering from her injuries. The town blames the rich guy. Strangely enough, the rich guy's wife becomes good friends with Tracy. Rich guy has essentially left his wife because she also blames him for everything, including cheating on her in the past.
