Abstract: This study aimed to assess the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices in Heracleo Casco Memorial National High School (HCMNHS) and develop a strategic plan for improvement. A mixed-methods approach was used, including surveys, interviews, and observation. The results showed that most students in Heracleo Casco Memorial National High School knew about water access, sanitation facilities, and good hygiene practices. However, the school needs to ensure that all students have access to proper sanitation facilities and waste management systems. It is also important to implement education programs that will promote good hygiene practices and prevent the spread of illnesses and infections. This study provides valuable information on the WASH practices in HCMNHS and can serve as a guide for other educational institutions in improving their WASH practices.
