Abstract:

This study examines the relationship between extracurricular activities and academic performance among high school students at Maryknoll School of Sigaboy, Inc. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive-survey research design, the study employed random sampling to select 173 high school students out of 183 high school students from its population. Data were collected using a structured survey instrument designed to assess both the levels of extracurricular participation and academic achievement. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and Pearson's r correlation coefficient. The results indicate that both extracurricular activities and academic performance are observed at high levels among the students, with a Pearson's r correlation of 0.01, suggesting a positive correlation between these two variables. These findings affirm that increased participation in extracurricular activities is significantly associated with higher academic performance. The study highlights the importance of extracurricular engagement in enhancing students' academic outcomes, suggesting potential benefits for educational policy and student development programs.
