Boston Public is an American television series created by David E. Kelley and broadcast on FOX from October 23 2000 through to January 30, 2004. It centered on Winslow High School, a fictional public high school located in Boston, Massachusetts. The show was named for the real public school district in which it takes place. It featured a large ensemble cast and focused on the work and private lives of the various teachers, students, and administrators at the school and their various personalities.

Its slogan, as it was depicted on the show's website at the time, was "Every day is a fight. For respect. For dignity. For sanity."

East Boston High School was used as Winslow High's exterior.

Guber's name is derivative of the Latin word "gubernare," which means "to control, to govern, to restrain, to rule."

Marilyn's last name, Sudor, means "sweat" in Spanish.

15 Episodes were made for the 4th season but only 13 episodes were originally aired. FOX canceled the show, but then aired the two remaining episodes early in 2005.

The character of Lauren Davis was originally created with Lauren Holly in mind for the role; hence the first name.
