What is the name of the high school in 'High School Musical'?

The high school in 'High School Musical' is East High. It is the fictional Albuquerque school attended by Troy Bolton, Gabriella Montez, Sharpay Evans, and their classmates.

East High is central to the film’s story because Troy and Gabriella meet while singing karaoke during a ski-lodge vacation, then discover that they attend the same school. Their decision to audition for the winter musical drives the conflict between academics, sports, and performing arts.

The school was portrayed by East High School in Salt Lake City, Utah, rather than a purpose-built fictional set. That real campus became closely associated with the franchise and later appeared in the sequels. A common mix-up is choosing West High, North High, or South High: those names sound plausible, but the Wildcats’ school is East High.
