“The Relationship of Psychological Health and Academic Performance of the Senior High School in Educare College, Inc.”

Senior High School years are the exciting and challenging years for most students. Students get the chance to explore and discover new things as they progress through the years. However, as they progress there are also challenges that they must face including pressure to succeed in academics, financial stress, uncertainty about which major or career path to choose, increased social media use, and less stigma around seeking help. It is essential for the students to overcome these challenges and stress-inducing factors in order to pave the way for their own educational achievement (Bahrami, 2007).

In spite of that, (Sha’iri, 2004) stated that there is a significant relation between mental health and academic performance. Therefore, conflicting results have been set forth in most studies on the relationship of psychological health and academic performance of the students. This research or study seeks to scrutinize, evaluate, and estimate the relationship between these two factors among the Senior High School students of Educare College, Inc.
