High School Musical was filmed primarily in Salt Lake City, Utah, with East High School serving as the central filming location for the first movie and much of the subsequent scenes. Additional locations include Murray High School and various local sites around Salt Lake City, such as Troy’s and Gabriella’s houses, which were shot on locations in and around the city. The film’s production leveraged real schools and neighborhood settings in Utah to recreate the high school experience. Key locations often highlighted:

• East High School, Salt Lake City, Utah (the primary on-screen school)
• Murray High School, Murray, Utah (audition and related scenes)
• Troy’s house, Salt Lake City area (address variations cited by production sources)
• Gabriella’s house and other exterior scenes around Salt Lake City

Tips if you’re visiting:

• East High School is a working high school and offers public access on weekdays after school hours; interior access is limited due to school operations. [citation needed]
• The East High campus remains a recognizable landmark for fans, with the gym and cafeteria being iconic set pieces referenced in fan sites and filming location guides. [citation needed]

If you’d like, I can compile a concise list of exact addresses and map routes for the public East High campus, Murray High, and Troy/Gabriella residence locations, along with notes on which scenes were filmed at each site.
