Much of the Disney Channel film High School Musical, as well as parts of the sequels High School Musical 2 and High School Musical 3: Senior Year, were filmed at East High. As a result, the school became a destination for some tourists. During the summer of 2007, the school received 40 to 50 visitors per day who wanted to visit the location of the film.
In November 2007, the school performed its own production of High School Musical. Demand for tickets was so strong, the school added an extra night of that production.

Saw the dance of nature forward far;
