Abstract : This study investigated the experiences and perceptions of senior high school students regarding support systems within their schools and their implications for student well-being. Utilizing qualitative research methods, data were gathered through interviews with senior high school students, focusing on their experiences with available support systems and coping mechanisms. The findings highlight the critical role of support systems in promoting student well-being and academic success. Participants emphasized the importance of accessibility and inclusivity in support services, noting the positive impact of personalized guidance and resources on their overall mental health and academic performance. Additionally, the study underscores the significance of educator collaboration and ongoing professional development in enhancing the effectiveness of support systems within schools. The implications of these findings extend to educational stakeholders, including Department of Education officials, school heads, teachers, and students, suggesting strategies for strengthening support services and fostering a supportive school environment. The study contributes to the existing literature by providing insights into the experiences of senior high school students and offering practical recommendations for improving support systems to promote student well-being in educational settings.
