Abstract: This study utilized a quantitative, non-experimental descriptive research design to assess the personal hygiene knowledge, attitudes, and practices of senior high school students. The research aimed to evaluate current knowledge levels regarding proper hygiene practices, assess students’ attitudes and beliefs about the importance of hygiene, and measure actual hygiene behaviors. The findings indicated a notably very high level of knowledge, positive attitudes, and effective practices, demonstrating a strong commitment to health and well-being and the success of previous hygiene education efforts. Furthermore, no significant difference was found in personal hygiene practices between Grade 11 and Grade 12 students, suggesting that key hygiene habits were established early or influenced by consistent factors independent of grade level. This highlighted the need for early and consistent interventions to reinforce positive hygiene behaviors throughout adolescence, ensuring these practices contributed to long-term health and well-being.
