This study assessed the competencies of secondary school teachers in the Division of Samar and the academic performance of fourth year high school students. The research utilized the descriptive-correlational method using the questionnaire as the main instrument in data gathering. Two groups of respondents were involved to determine the level of teachers’ competence which was correlated to the students’ MPS in the five subject areas (Mathematics, Science, English, Filipino, and Social Studies) as well as the teachers’ personal profile. Along student development, teacher’s competence and teacher’s personality and human relations, the correlation coefficients between the level of competence of Social Studies teachers and their profile proved to be not significant inasmuch as all the p-values were greater than the level of significance, which was set at 0.05. Along student development, teacher’s competence and teacher’s personality and human relations, the correlation coefficients between the level of competence of Social Studies teachers and their profile proved to be not significant inasmuch as all the p-values were greater than the level of significance which was set at 0.05. Among Filipino teachers, educational background is positively and significantly correlated to their level of competence along student development, while civil status was significantly correlated to their level of competence among teacher’s competence. Thus, Filipino teachers who have higher educational qualification tend to have higher level of competence along student development and those who are married tend to have higher level of competence along teacher’s competence than those who are single. Among the Social Studies teachers, none of their personal profiles was found to be significantly correlated to their level of competence along the three considered areas.
