School Facilities
One of the many innovative features of John Dewey High School are the Dewey learning centers which are commonly referred as "Resource Centers." These are centers located centrally between five or six classrooms, staffed by a teacher and a paraprofessional. Each major department has one—English & Literature, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Foreign Language, Music, Art and the Universal RC. For each band (period), subject teachers in designated RCs will always be there to facilitate students in Academics, students who are free may head to the RCs for assistance in homework, projects etc. or socialize with others.
John Dewey High School’s library has around collections of over 30,000 books, magazines, and about 12 computers for student, parent and faculty use.
Students utilize the many facilities in which they worked side-by-side with either their teachers/peers/ friends, this not only enable students to fulfill their personal interests but can concurrently build a steady foundation for advancements in their future life.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or facilities:
“By school age, many boys experience pressure to reveal inner feelings as humiliating. They think their mothers are saying to them, “You must be hiding something shameful.” And shucking clams is a snap compared to prying secrets out of a boy who’s decided to “clam up.””
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
