Abstract Reproductive health education is a vital aspect of adolescent development, yet cultural barriers and limited instructional depth often hinder its effectiveness in the Philippine context. This study examined the awareness, perception, and educational interventions on reproductive health among the senior high school students in Maramag District III for School Year 2025–2026. Specifically, it sought to determine students’ level of awareness in terms of reproductive system, online safety, contraception, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and adolescent pregnancy; their perception across personal, social, and cultural dimensions; the extent of educational interventions along cognitive and emotional domains; and the relationships between awareness, perception, and interventions. The respondents consisted of 179 senior high school students were selected through universal sampling from two public secondary schools in the district. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study utilized a researcher-made questionnaire validated by experts and tested for reliability. Descriptive statistics, such as mean and standard deviation, were used to describe levels of awareness, perception, and interventions, while Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient tested the relationships among variables.

This study found that students demonstrated high awareness, with the reproductive system scoring the highest mean, while contraception scored the lowest. For perception, the personal dimension obtained the highest mean, showing students’ recognition of reproductive health as relevant to their individual well-being, whereas cultural perception ranked the lowest. In terms of interventions, cognitive strategies gained the highest mean, reflecting the effectiveness of structured instruction, while emotional support was the least emphasized. Significant relationships were found between awareness and interventions, and between perception and interventions, affirming that knowledge and attitudes strongly influence educational engagement. The study concludes that reproductive health education is most effective when it balances scientific knowledge, personal relevance, and culturally sensitive delivery. It recommends intensifying instruction on contraception, addressing cultural barriers, and fostering emotionally supportive learning environments.
