Did the Cast Go to Regular High School?

The cast reminisced about their high school experience, which they got to relive while filming the show. They all attended regular high schools while being tutored on the set. “It was cool I got to play sports and go to the prom. I graduated with my class and all that,” said Mario Lopez.

Mark Paul Gosselaar expressed regret for not taking anything from the set. “We should have taken things. When you watch the show, you wonder where did that poster go. There were so many things we could have boosted. Like on the shows now, after my tenure at NYPD Blue, I took anything that wasn’t bolted down. I would have taken someone’s chair.”

Mario Lopez’s mother, on the other hand, kept everything. When asked about memorabilia, Mario said, “No, I never took those things.” Mark remembered some of the crazy props on the set, like Dustin masks, that nobody took. “Imagine how much money you could get for that now?” he laughed.
