Kirk Cameron "K.C." Guthrie was a student at Degrassi Community School who attended the school from his freshman year until his junior year (2010-2013) when he left Toronto and moved to Vancouver, British Columbia in order to protect his mother from his alcoholic father, who had been recently released from jail, and was trying to get back into their lives. K.C. used to live in a group home while both of his parents were in jail, but moved back in with his mother after she had been released during his sophomore year, and after he was sure she was clean from her previous drug and alcohol addictions.
