GABRIELLA MONTEZ

Garbriella was the new girl in school this year, and at first it looked as
if she was content to just lay low and blend in. But that changed pretty
Quickly when Sharpay Evans uncovered Gabriella’s secret Einstein-ette
past! As it turned out, Gabriella was a major brain and had won all Kinds
of academic awards at her old school, so of course Taylor McKessie
instantly recruited her for the Scholastic Decathlon Team. Thanks to
Gabriella’s sharp pen and even sharper mind, East High crushed our rival,
West High, in the biggest academic showdown of the year! Little did we
know that Gabriella wasn’t just a bookworm. A member of her church choir
for years, Gabriella decided to try out for the Winter Musical and won the
female lead. For the first time since anyone at East High could remember,
someone other than Sharpay Evans got top billing in a Drama Club
production. But although it was cool to see someone new get shot at
stardom, the best part was watching Gabriella come out of her shy shell
and shine. (Say that three times fast!) Singing obviously brings this girl all
kinds of joy, and it was infectious during the three sold-out shows the
Drama Club staged this winter. We’re glad you came to East High, Gabriella!
