She is one of the girls that/who are in the high school.

In the above statement, "She" is the object of the group "girls". If the Group is followed by That/Who then the immediate verb will take Plural form.

General: Y is one of the Xs THAT/WHO Plural Verb .

She is one of the girls eats Burger.

If the Group is not followed by THAT or WHO then the verb will take singular form.

General: Y is one of the Xs Singular Verb .
