It's the first day of seventh grade at the new middle school which still does not have a name, so a "Name Your School" student contest is created by the former Mayor White who is now the school's principal. The contest causes fierce competition between Patti and Doug when they don't like each others school name suggestions. Doug meets all his teachers including his homeroom and English teacher Miss Kristal, and during breaks, the students realize the school isn't quite finished yet. Also, the gang is on the search for the perfect new hangout since the Honker Burger is now gone.
