The show tells the story of two high school juniors from rival cliques: Troy Bolton, captain of the basketball team and Gabriella Montez, the girl with all the brains.

Despite the other students' attempts to spoil their dreams, Troy and Gabriella resist peer pressure and rivalry, inspiring others along the way!
