Monique Coleman as Taylor McKessie

Monique Coleman starred as brainiac Taylor McKessie for all three films, but largely stayed out music both in the films and afterwards. She joined the High School Musical concert tour and also appeared on Disney Channel Holiday.
However, she showed off her dancing skills after the first movie by competing on the third season on Dancing with the Stars in 2006. She placed fourth, which was highest amongst the females, but behind Joey Lawrence, Mario Lopez and winner Emmitt Smith.
