In Nickelodeon’s hit series School of Rock, Jade Pettyjohn stars as Summer Hathaway, the fiercely smart, driven, and organized student who transforms into the band’s spirited manager. Based on the beloved 2003 film from Mike White and Richard Linklater, the show follows a group of rule-following prep school kids who discover their true passion when a substitute teacher turns their classroom into a rock band. The series marked the first on-screen collaboration between Jade Pettyjohn and Tony Cavalero, who played the eccentric yet lovable teacher Dewey Finn—a partnership they would later revisit in HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones. With humor, heart, and music at its core, School of Rock ran for three seasons, nabbed two Emmy Nominations and showcased Jade’s standout comedic timing, vocal talent, and breakout star quality.
