The research utilized both quantitative and qualitative research designs and conducted the at Saint Mary's University Senior High School with 389 students from STEM, HumSS, ABM, ICT, HE strands and AD Track, utilizing an adopted questionnaire. The respondents' level of nationalism achieved a mean interpreted as high, likewise, a favorable interpretation for level of attitude towards history. The result also indicates a significant difference in the respondent's level of nationalism in terms of sex, strands, and grade level; and level of attitude towards history with strands. However, there is a no significant difference in terms of ethnicity, as such for level of attitude towards history in terms of sex, grade level and ethnicity. Moreover, there is a moderate positive correlation between the respondents' level of nationalism and attitude towards history.
