Abstract: This study addressed Public Speaking Anxiety Among Senior High School Students: A Basis For Enhancement Program. The study’s primary goal was to determine the level of public speaking anxiety in terms of their respective indicators and the significant difference between the levels of public speaking anxiety among Grade 11 and Grade 12 students. The study utilized a quantitative-correlational design with 274 respondents among Senior High School Students in Lorenzo S. Sarmiento Sr. National High School. The average weighted mean and T-test were the statistical tools used in this study. The results showed a high level of Public Speaking Anxiety, along with the indicators of Trait Anxiety, Context Anxiety, and Audience Anxiety. Additionally, a significant difference was found between the Level of Public Speaking Anxiety of Grade 11 and Grade 12 Students suggesting a need for comprehensive enhancement program to enhance students’ public speaking skills. Consequently, the null hypothesis was rejected. The recommendations include implementing regular workshops and training sessions on public speaking skills, integrating public speaking into the curriculum, establishing peer support programs and public speaking clubs, providing flexible assessment methods, engaging parents through informational sessions, and encouraging gradual exposure to speaking opportunities. This necessitated an enhancement program to improve the public speaking skills of Grade 11 and 12 students, the Vocal Ease: Triumph Over Public Speaking Anxiety Program.
