Production
The film was shot at Spokane's Rogers High School, referred to as "Thompson High School" in the film. The school building has gone through major renovations since the filming, with the only still recognizable characteristic being the school's front entrance.
Interior cafeteria scenes were filmed at Ferris High School on Spokane's South Hill. Some of the locker room scenes were filmed in the Shadle Park High School boys' locker room.
Madonna's scene was filmed at the Big Foot Tavern on North Division (Mews?) in Spokane.
Other scenes were shot at The Onion Restaurant downtown and the North Central High School gym. The gym today looks much as it did in the movie.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
