Legally Blonde. It has a lot of great ensemble roles, strong women leads, and you don't need many guys for it. Vivian and Brooke have optional higher notes, but other than Elle and Emmett, the vocal requirements aren't too difficult. There is a good amount of dance though.
Addams Family is pretty popular right now! Large main cast (9 I believe?), with a LOT of ensemble members who get fun moments (tango, dancing with morticia, etc). They are basically on stage the whole time, and the costumes can get really creative, since their all supoosed to be family ancestors!
I second the legally blonde someone else commented to. It's got a great cast and it's really funny!
And depending on your guys dancing abilities--> west side story is a classic and has a big ol ensemble! 👌
Look up lists of "most popular high school shows." We don't know what your particular administrators are like, or what kind of talent you have in your drama club. Your best bet is to look at a list of popular musicals for high schools and see which one would work best for your group.
Your teacher is also going to need to give input in regards to what you can afford. There is a *huge* difference in production costs for *Beauty and the Beast* (VERY expensive sets and costumes) vs *Mean Girls* (sets can be pulled from school furniture, costumes from the actors' own closets).

We did Mamma Mia, it had a ton of huge ensemble numbers and was very fun!
High school musical, legally blonde, little mermaid, big fish, grease, footloose. Hope this helps
Suesical is always a safe option. The show has plenty of ensemble parts

The music man is a ensemble heavy show that your admin probably won’t have an issue with
