—— This study examined the perceptions of Grade 11 learners at San Agustin National High School, Sagbayan, Bohol regarding the implementation of the Strengthened Senior High School (SHS) curriculum during the 2025-2026 school year. The study focused on flexible learning outcomes, industry alignment, school-level delivery of education, and stakeholder alignment. A quantitative-descriptive research design was used, with data collected from 233 Grade 11 learners using a validated researcher-made questionnaire. Weighted mean was used to determine perception levels, while independent-samples t-test and one-way ANOVA were utilized to analyze variations in perceptions based on gender and career pathway. Results revealed that learners generally held positive perceptions of the SHS curriculum across all areas. School-level delivery of education received the highest rating, reflecting clear instruction, organized implementation, and supportive school policies, whereas stakeholder alignment received the lowest rating, indicating limited parental involvement and weak collaboration among stakeholders. Findings further showed that female learners reported more favorable perceptions than male learners, while perceptions across career pathways were generally comparable. The study concludes that the Strengthened SHS curriculum is generally effective from the learners’ perspective but requires enhanced stakeholder engagement. Based on the findings, an action plan is proposed to strengthen learner support, enhance stakeholder collaboration, and further improve the implementation of the Strengthened SHS curriculum.
