My kids have been fans of Disney's "High School Musical" movies. Our sister in law, Jana suggested we drive to the real East High in Salt Lake and show the kids where the movie was filmed. We thought that was a great idea, so on our last day in Utah we went to East High. Our hope was to be able to take a picture of the kids in front of the school. When we arrived we thought we would go and peek in the windows. We found the doors unlocked, so we slipped inside and ended up meeting the vice principal of the school, who gave us a tour of the school.
It had never been so fun to tour a High School before.
Unfortunately, my camera started to give me problems and so the pictures didn't turn out too well.
First stop: The Cafeteria
The "Wild Cat"The real East High's mascot is the Leopard.
Sharpay's Locker! They didn't leave it pink.
The classroom
Lydia loved sitting on the desk just like Gabriella.
The boys remembered this stairway in the movie.
Dancing in the same hall has Chad.

In front of the school. There was never any snow in the movie. In fact they painted the grass green and put fake leaves on the trees.

i made the same type of pilgrimage up to Ogden High once to relive some of the good parts in "Drive Me Crazy"
Dear Landon, Mason & Lydia,
I'm delighted to see that you made a visit to East High School. This is the school Niel will attend, and I am currently an assistant football coach at East High! We have many of our team meals in the cafeteria area where some of your pictures were taken. Our family is as much East High Leopards as we are Highland High Rams (where Sam went to school and where Kirstyn is presently enrolled). The new principal at East High, Dr. Paul Sagers, is also a great addition to the school and a big fan of the football team. We'd be happy to arrange for housing if you guys want to come to SLC so you can attend East High!! Of course, you'd need to check with your Mom & Dad first.
Love, Scott & Vicky
That is so cool. My kids enjoyed seeing those pictures. What a fun time for your children! I'll bet it was a highlight of the trip to them.
Oh my gosh!! That is just SO much fun. We are a big fan of the movie also. It is just great to have a movie out there that the whole family can enjoy.
We'll definately have to go check out the school next time we are in Utah. Rylie would love it!
Hi Steph, it's Brynnley. Brooke told me about your blog. That is so cute that you saw all of that stuff. Your kids are adoreable. My kids love that movie too. The 2nd one was in St. George, you'll have to take them there to the golf course. I had a couple of friends that were extras in it. You look great. Good to see your blog.
