What is the name of the high school in 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'?

Answer

Sunnydale High School

Sunnydale High School is literally built directly above the Hellmouth—a demonic gateway to the underworld—in 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', creating the foundation for the show's central concept that horror lurks beneath suburban normality. The high school setting grounds supernatural storytelling in recognizable adolescent experiences, making metaphorical the actual dangers teenagers face. The Hellmouth beneath Sunnydale drives the series' mythology and creates a physical location explaining the concentration of supernatural threats. This clever geographical conceit allows the show to blend high school drama seamlessly with horror and mythology.
