Abstract
This study determines the perceived impact of social media on the academic performance of grade 12 students of Hilabaan National High School, Dolores I District, Division of Eastern Samar. This study employed a descriptive correlation design to examine and describe relationships between student profiles, their usage of social media, and the impact of social media on their academic performance. The respondents that were choosen in this study was taken out from two different class sections, a total of 45 learners which were 33 HUUMSS, and 12 TVL tracks. They were considered to have experience access and usage of social media networking sites. The results have founded out an increase in social media usage that is associated with a decline in students' academic performance. Furthermore, the less frequent usage of social media may lead to a better chance of good academic performance of the students. This suggests for further exploration of some other factors that may affect the academic performance of the students in relation to social media usage.
