The George Washington Educational Campus is a facility of the New York City Department of Education located at 549 Audubon Avenue at West 193rd Street in the Fort George neighborhood of the Washington Heights area of Manhattan, New York City. Within the building are located four schools: * The first floor is the High School for Media and Communications (M463) * The second floor houses The College Academy, formerly the High School for International Business and Finance (M462) * The third floor houses the High School for Health Careers and Sciences (M468) * The fourth floor houses the High School for Law and Public Service (M467) The building was opened on February 2, 1917 as an annex of Morris High School. George Washington High School was founded in 1919, and moved into the building in 1925. It was known by that name until 1999, when the building was divided into the four small schools. George Washington Education Campus is home to a Works Progress Administration (WPA) mural, ''The Evolution of Music'', painted by Lucienne Bloch in 1938. This mural was painted in a room originally used as a music room and later as a dance studio. February 1972 was the first time ID cards where used in the school for students and staff. Currently, the building has scanning machines. In order to come in the building one must go through scanning. New York-Presbyterian Hospital maintains a clinic on the first floor. ==Sports== On November 23, 2008, the Trojan football squad defeated Far Rockaway High School (Queens), 20–14, in an overtime finish at the Midwood Athletic Complex in Brooklyn.

He was suspended by the PSAL for 16 months for supposed "recruiting violations" and was reinstated to his job thereafter; the case prompted questions about how the PSAL handles charges brought without witnesses or evidence. According to ''The New York Times'', "The Mandl case offers another perspective: the possibility that petty, meritless charges can get traction and turn the disciplinary process itself into a form of punishment long before a verdict has been reached." 〔http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/01/nyregion/baseball-coach-steve-mandl-suspended-before-a-hearing-is-held.html?_r=0〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Washington Educational Campus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
