N2  - This study assessed the prevailing organizational culture among upland secondary  schools of the Division of Bataan for the School Year 2018-2019 as the basis for the  proposal of developmental culture initiatives. In particular, it also determined the  organizational culture of the upland secondary schools described in terms of managing  change, achieving goals, coordinated teamwork, customer orientation, and cultural  strength; the significant practices in organizational culture in the upland secondary  schools; the insights withdrawn from the significant practices organizational culture in  the upland secondary schools; and the proposal of developmental culture initiatives may  be proposed.   The data reflected in this study were taken from the selected teachers,  administrators, students, and community stakeholder-respondents in the said upland  secondary schools in the Division of Bataan during the School Year 2018-2019. The  study employed the sequential explanatory design of mixed method research, using  observation, survey questionnaire, and structured interview as the main gathering tools.  Items included in the questionnaire were adapted from a standard survey questionnaire,  while the guide questions in the interview were made by the researcher. The gathered  data were coded and tallied using the descriptive statistics such as frequency counts,  percentage, mean and standard deviation and with inferential statistics such as Analysis  of Variance (ANOVA) and Levenne's Test. Meanwhile, the transcripts gathered from the  interview were subjected to thematic analysis.  In light of the findings of the study, the researcher arrived at the following  conclusions: the upland secondary schools have manifested managing change, achieving goals, coordinated teamwork, customer orientation, and cultural strength; there are no  significant differences in the organizational culture of the upland secondary schools as  assessed by the teachers, administrators, students, and community stakeholderrespondents; upland secondary schools like any other schools in the Department of  Education continue to strive to deliver quality and relevant education through identified  stakeholders involvement and improvement practices; the upland secondary schools have  very supportive internal and external stakeholders and have mastered the continuous  improvement principle of the DepEd; and the crafted developmental culture initiatives  focus on the indicators of organizational culture that are highest-rated items for  promotional activities/initiatives for sustainable operations.  In light of the findings, the following recommendations are proposed: the upland  schools may adopt more strategic practices to make their organization culture more  adaptive to their needs; contingency measures for effectively managing change,  coordinating teamwork, and providing customer orientation must be in-placed so that the  significant differences in the practices will be of the same level; other measures to help  the upland schools must be initiated to help them cope up with the challenges of  continuous improvement; recognition and appreciation of the stakeholders and the  innovative practices must be in-placed further to improve the organization's culture; the  developmental culture initiatives may be shared with the community and stakeholders to  improve further the practice; and studies on the unique organizational culture of the  upland schools may be facilitated to enrich the organizational operation
