OMG -- there are so many. Since you said play I'm going to skip any musicals... Here are some I've seen performed by High Schools
John Lennon and Me
Gaslight (or Angel Street as it's known in the US)
The Importance of Being Ernest
Noises Off
Run for Your Wife
The 1930s Musical Comedy Murder
-- just about anything by Neil Simon
I have seen High Schools do just about anything as long as it doesn't get to R-rated in language. The question you need to ask is what do you want your students to learn? Drama, Suspense, Comedy, Farce... So many possibilities.

Straight plays and not musicals?
The Skin of Our Teeth
Arsenic and Old Lace
Our Town
The Diary of Anne Frank
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
A Christmas Carol
Little Women
The Time Machine
For musicals there are a ton, but since you said plays these are my suggestions :-)

my school's recent musicals where Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Grease, Aida, and Fiddler on the Roof- all great music.
If you're looking into drama shows, not musicals, a melodrama that was positively hysterical was Under the Lamplight by Jens Barrett, and a comedy Neil Simon's The Odd Couple

How about Sound of Music. It's a classic and it teaches about past generations.
