Ernest Goes to School is a 1994 comedy film written and directed by Coke Sams and starring Jim Varney. It is the seventh film to feature the character Ernest P. Worrell, and the first to be released direct-to-video. It never had a DVD release in Region 1. This motion picture is also the only film in the Ernest film series not to be directed by John R. Cherry III. Its opening theme is "Hail to the Muskrats!" which was the alma mater. This movie was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia. Ernest works as a janitor at Chickasaw Falls High School, which is facing closure due to the School Board's... decision to merge other schools in the area. There is also a new rule: All employees are required to have graduated. Ernest never did. Ernest has two choices as a result: Redo grade twelve at the school with regular courses and potentially graduate, or lose his job. Ernest reluctantly decides to redo school and enters the student body, attending regular classes and performing usual student activities, but all not with a little catastrophe or predicament or distraction. Soon the principal tells him he's failing and that he may as well forget about the experiment.
