Thomas Sams

Thomas Sams (who Clark usually referred to by their last name) was a hero in the 1989 movie Lean on Me.
He was played by Jermaine 'Huggy' Hopkins.
While he's only a student in Eastside High, and his heroic acts are very little, it's the way Sams sticks up for Clark towards the end when Bottman's men brutally persecute him that earns him a hero status.
Sams starts off as a druggie who is one the 300 students expelled in the beginning of the movie, but a remorseful who wants to change, thus motivating Clark to give him a second chance into going to the school. He is flawed, and Clark is kind of a villainous jerk to him in the first half of the time he's with him. However, when he impresses Sams with the school song, Clark has a newfound respect for him. At this point Clark gets the strongest defense from him.
In the credits he is present for the graduation. Sams not yet graduated, wears the graduation cap to play a small prank with Clark. Despite the prank, Clark is at least happy and hoping Sams would graduate someday.
