With a plot described as a modern retelling of Romeo & Juliet, High School Musical is a story of two high school juniors from rival cliques: Troy Bolton (Zac Efron), captain of the school basketball team, and Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens), a shy transfer student who excels in math and science. Together, they try out for the lead parts in their high school musical, and as a result, divide the school. Despite other students' attempts to thwart their dreams, Troy and Gabriella resist peer pressure and rivalry, inspiring others along the way not to "stick with the status quo."

Whoo
Come on
Alright
Little louder now
Hey
Lookin' forward from center stage, to graduation day, time to get the future started
No matter what, it's somethin' we're a part of
We learn to fly
Together side-by-side
I just hope the rest of my life, will feel as good as my
High school musical
Who says we have to let it go
It's the best part we've ever known, step into the future
But hold on to
High school musical, let's celebrate where we come from
The friends who've been there all along, just like
Our high school, high school musical
Improvisation without a script, no one's written it, and now we have the chance too
Someday we'll be lookin' back
Memories we've had, all the songs that we lived through
The best of times
So why leave them behind
Why can't the rest of my life
Be like my
High school musical
Who says we have to let it go
It's the best part we've ever known, step into the future
But hold on to
High school musical, let's celebrate where we come from
The friends who've been there all along, that's right (That's right)
Now we finally realize
Who we are, it just took some time
We had to live and to learn to see the truth
Learn to see the truth
But nothing's ever impossible, into the future we all free-fall
But forever we'll always have high school
Time to party, now celebrate
'Cause the world's one big stage, but any part you want can be yours
Everybody sing, yeah
And the show is never gonna go
It's what got us here, we know
High school, lives on forever more
High school, high school musical
High school musical
Who says we have to let it go
It's the best part we've ever known, step into the future
But hold on to
High school musical, let's celebrate where we come from
The friends who've been there all along, oh yeah
I wish my life could feel like a
High school musical
Who says we have to let it go?
It's the best part we've ever known,step into the future
But hold on to
High school musical, let's celebrate where we come from
All together makes it better, memories that last forever
I want the rest of my life to feel just like a
High school musical
