An Examples of a school is listed)In order to provide the best educational environment for its students, George Washington High School makes use of a tremendous amount of organizational resources both from within and outside of the school. From within the school these resources include department heads (e.g., social studies, math, science, English, etc.) that closely manage the teachers in their department; the roster office that handles scheduling; counseling and psychological services that provide testing and guidance for students; the athletic department that provides organized and competitive sports for students to participate; the custodial and maintenance workers that handle the physical needs of the building such as cleaning, heating and repairs; secretaries that help with administration functions; the public address system for communication; computers for teaching and organizing; financial resources given to them by their school district to purchase books, supplies and equipment; and the cafeteria that provides meals for both students and teachers.
G.W.H.S. also utilizes resources external to the organization, they include parents (i.e., the home and school association), the surrounding community and organizations within the community, the local police department, private organizations and businesses that provide funding, mentorship to students and internships for students. As in most cities and towns, G.W.H.S. falls under the jurisdiction of the local School District which provides personnel and other human resource services, administrative support, training, curriculum support, information technology, research, and further facilitates maintenance. The organizational resources obtained from all sources are essential to the successful operations of this school as well as any public or private institution.
