This study determined the implementation of the Adopt-a-School Program in public elementary schools of Catbalogan City Division for School Year 2017-2018. The study employed a descriptive method of research. The main instruments used to gather the data from the respondents of the study were questionnaire-checklist and document analysis. For the findings, in comparing the assessments between the school heads and teachers on the extent of implementation along physical facilities and classrooms, the computed p-value of 0.96 was higher than the 0.05 level of significance. Thus, the hypothesis that states “there is no significant difference between the assessment of the school heads and teachers on the extent of implementation of the program along physical facilities and classrooms “was accepted. For the conclusion, the extent of implementation of Adopt-a-School program as assessed by the school heads and teachers along attainment of objectives was “extensively implemented”; along improvement of physical facilities and classrooms was “extensively implemented; along learning resources was “moderately implemented”; and “moderately implemented” along learning support. There was no significant difference between the assessments of the school heads and teachers on the extent of implementation of the program along with attainment of objectives, improvement of physical facilities and classrooms, learning resources and learning support. For the recommendation, public elementary school heads and teachers should be encouraged to upgrade themselves professionally.
