I have been asked so many times over the past 24 years, “Amy where did the filming of Grease 2 take place? Where is the High School? Is it still around?
So without further adieu, I have decided to compile a list of all locations used in the filming of Grease 2. I have done my best to insure accuracy. If you are in the Southern California area and want to visit, here is your chance!
