ABSTRACT
This study examined the environmental conservation practices of teachers and learners at Bingawan National High School during School Year 2024–2025. The participants were twenty (20) Grade 11 students and ten (10) senior high school teachers. Using a qualitative approach, the study relied on in-depth interviews to explore the participants’ practices in waste management, disaster preparedness, and energy conservation. The findings showed that both learners and teachers actively practiced waste segregation, recycling, and energy-saving habits. Teachers also promoted disaster preparedness, while learners participated in activities such as tree planting and waterway cleanups. Based on these findings, the study recommended the development of formal guidelines on waste disposal, energy use, and disaster preparedness, along with initiatives that encourage collaboration between learners and teachers, such as eco-clubs and sustainability projects. These measures may strengthen environmental awareness in the school, sustain long-term participation in conservation efforts, and foster a sense of ownership that promotes a culture of sustainability within the wider community.
