This study evaluated the first-level implementation of the Strengthened Senior High School (SHS) Curriculum in the Philippines using the Context–Input–Process–Product–Output (CIPPO) evaluation framework, with emphasis on students’ perspectives. Employing a qualitative descriptive–evaluative design, data were collected from 43 Grade 11 students in a public senior high school through a CIPPO-based open-ended questionnaire. Thematic analysis revealed that a supportive learning environment, positive teacher–student relationships, and peer collaboration facilitated learner engagement during curriculum transition. While instructional processes were largely characterized by interactive and student-centered pedagogies, challenges related to workload intensity and pacing emerged. Findings further indicated that students developed transferable academic and personal competencies, including critical thinking, self-management, and confidence. Although learners perceived the strengthened curriculum as relevant preparation for higher education and employment, they expressed the need for greater experiential and applied learning opportunities. Overall, the curriculum demonstrates promising early outcomes but requires continued refinement in resource provision, instructional balance, and experiential learning integration. The study highlights the value of learner-centered, CIPPO-based evaluation in informing continuous curriculum improvement and quality assurance in senior high education.
