We see em every time we go to the movies. Some campuses are still open, but movie companies change the actual name to protect the identity. Like in Beverly Hills 90210. West Beverly Hills Wildcats which in fact its Torrence High in California the same campus used in Buffy The Vampire Slayer show and She's All That. Let's see if you can name what movies the campuses came out in.

1..East Compton Clovers
2..Ridgemont Wolves
3..Huntington Hedgehogs
4. Harrington Hornets
5.. Park Pirates
6..Kennedy Beavers
7..Palasides Marlins
8..Ampie Bulldogs

Here are the answers to these movies, Hey just imagine if these school's were a reality in District 2 Class 3A

1..Bring It On- The most popular movie in the 2000's which is inspired in slogans or sayings in today's culture, 2 rivals Rancho Carne Toros and East Compton Clovers meet to battle it out at the National Cheerleading Competition

2..Fast Times At Ridgemont High- A classic for those of us who grew up in the early 80's. Stories revolving teens at a high school to some of the stars it started great careers.

3..Can't Hardly Wait- It's graduation day and seniors get together to a party in one night . Something we go through in high school parties every weekend. You have your dorks, jocks, cheerleaders, stoners, rebels, and losers

4..The Faculity- An alien invasion is hit at a local high school turning teachers against students. Sort of Body Snatchers meets Stepford Wives

5..Lucas- A freshmen falls for a girl who happens to be a cheerleader, He is determined to win her heart by joining the football team. But loses when she happens to start dating the most popular football player on the squad. Another 80's favorite

6..Detroit Rock City- Setting back in the 70's a group of friends are attending a KISS concert in Detroit. But things go wrong on their way there. Great 70's rock music

7..Crazy/Beautiful- A football player attends a high school on the other side of LA where he lives a 2 hr bus ride every morning to school there he meets a girl he falls for. She's rich and her dad is the Senator of California. And he tries to help work out her problems

8.. All The Right Moves- One of Tom Cruise's earlier films that made him a big star today. A kid who lives in a small town that loves football. And is determined to get a scholarship to get out of town .

I don't think it is a real high school but in the 1979 movie Rock "n" Roll High School there is a high school named Vince Lombardi High School and the school is located in Wisconsin. It features a popular rock band of the time called the Ramones. This movie is shown on TCM every now and then. It was very popular when first released.
