Abstract (2. Language): 
The purpose of this study is to determine the perceptions related to “school culture” of students and teachers from different types of high schools in the province of Muş, the east of Turkey, through metaphors. With this aim, it has been researched that which metaphors are used by the teachers and the students and how the frequency distributions are. The “content analysis” method has been used. In order to determine the perceptions of different schools types, the metaphors have been piled under 11 images and the frequency distributions have been analyized. 213 students and 46 teachers from Industrial Vocational School, Girls Vocational School, Anatolian School and Cumhuriyet (General School) that are located in the province of Muş in 2008-2009 academic year were chosen as the working group of the study. The answers given to the semistructured and open-ended question forms were analyzed one by one. Each metaphor was associated with a conceptual image and 11 different images were gained. According to the findings, family metaphor (42) was generated mostly. The least generated metaphors were under belief image (4). The teachers weren’t generated any metaphors under the entertainment image.
