Parents, students, journalists, and the general public are likely to be looking for
information about an institution they are considering on the internet. In this regard, the lack of
information about a school, as well as the education and services it ought to offer, may often be
considered one of the major flaws that an institution must resolve. With these issues at hand, one
of the most effective solutions would be the construction of a website devoted to exhibiting
The internet has a magical appeal for everyone who lives in the digital age. According to
Johnson in his online article Worldwide Digital Population, as of January 2021, there were 4.66
billion active internet users worldwide - accounting for 59.5% of the global population. This
satisfies the doubt that the website will not attract visitors. Given that internet connection and
dealing with content from the internet are now commonplace in schools, developing and
maintaining a school website is something that an institution should put an eye on. The school
website is an excellent platform for students and staff to demonstrate their skills while also
presenting the school in an easily accessible and comprehensive manner to a larger audience.
School websites serve as an e-manual for the visitors; it will be convenient for them as the
A school's website is one of the most powerful tools it has for improving communication,
engaging parents and interactive students, and establishing a trustworthy reputation in the
community. Aside from these, the website School Webmasters (2018) cited in their article that
school websites also create an opportunity for an institution to advertise its strengths. All of these
advantages improve education for students; hence achieving them is worthwhile. School
websites usually serve three goals. First, to provide current students, parents, employees, and the
community with timely, engaging, and current information about the school. Second, to recruit
competent staff and attract students and their parents. Lastly, to give visitors an overview of the
type of school an institution is and the kind of graduates the school produces.
An informative website that is "open to everybody" and covers all of the essential data
about an institution is an objective that an institution itself should focus on. With the launch of
the school website, the school will be able to demonstrate its competence and qualities to a
Therefore, the researchers of this study came up with ideas for creating a school website

School (HCPSMSHS) but also exhibit the uniqueness of and the beauty within the campus. The
school website will be made available for public access on the internet at any time.
The internet is one of the primary sources of information, especially during this pandemic
where even education had to find its way online. It is used by teachers, parents, staff, and
students to attain the updates that they need. This project aims to create a website that will allow
the community to learn more about the school, Honorato C. Perez, Sr. Memorial Science High
School, by showcasing its achievements and attributes in a safe and accessible way, even in the
comfort of their homes. Furthermore, the website aims to exhibit the school's alumni profiles and
allow former and current students, staff, parents, and other users interested in the school to

Review of Related Literature
This section entails relevant material and studies directly related to this topic. It has
included a description of the study's relevance to existing literature. The content of this section
was compiled from a variety of sources, including online articles and numerous thesis projects.
Over the past few decades, the widespread use of the internet has significantly impacted
the general public (McCamey et al., 2013). The internet has become a new mode of
communication that allows users to access a large amount of information on a broad range of
technology and access to information gave students more available resources to expand their
knowledge. In his study, Shaw (2009) proved that students usually have positive impressions of
the internet and the use of technology in online and blended learning environments. Moreover, in
an exploratory study administered by Anderson in 2001, among the 1,300 respondents from eight
In a local setting, the usage of the internet and its services has already become a
significant part of student life, primarily intended for academic and research purposes (Conti et
al., 2019). With societal modernization causing teenagers and the youth to have relatively easier
access to various electronic devices and the web, the number of technology- and
internet-dependent people and learners continue to increase. Dr. Conti et al. (2019) found that the
majority of the 196 respondents aged 16-18 use the internet for more than six hours per day
(75%) and seven times per week (77.5%) in their study to examine the impact of internet
dependency among Senior High School (SHS) students at Batangas State University. This may
imply the growing dependence of learners on the advances in technology and the internet alike.
The advancement of our technology and its tools has completely changed the interactions
between organizations and people. Nowadays, a website is used to inform a large audience about
the school's mission, vision, and values (Ganiyu et al., 2017). It facilitates the completion of
various tasks such as school registration, purchase, and payment, which is far more convenient
given that many people are too busy to attend school in some instances. It also gives the user the
ability to find what they are looking for at an incomparable speed and control what they are
doing wherever they are at any given moment. (Bairamzadeh et al., 2012).
The pandemic made drastic changes in our lives. Online and modality learning was
implemented, which resulted in great adjustment for the students. For that reason, it has become
more convenient to check the web than go to the actual location. According to Hartshorne,
Friedman, Algozzone & Isibor (2006), a high school website can comprehensively illustrate a
school's curriculum. Its development can be a collaborative effort, addressing the goals and
needs of different elements within the school. With technology, parents are becoming more
involved in their children's education since the internet allows them to communicate globally.
Because of its easy access, the internet is an appealing source of knowledge for parents.
(Martland & Rothbaum, 2008). The website promotes family involvement, education, and
School websites are becoming more necessary along with the growth of internet
technology accessible to all people. Websites can give a number of benefits with the goal of
optimizing the internet in the school environment, improving school quality, expanding
education modules, and popularizing the internet. Firstly, this may serve as a medium to promote
the school and highlight its advantages. It will also provide a platform for electronic
communication among schools, agencies, and institutions through interactive features for
gathering among the whole community. Lastly, real-time information delivery will also be sped
Due to the lack of technology, management of such systems was difficult and dynamic in
the early days; thus, the implementation of a website has come to address the earlier
disadvantages. The primary goal of a school website is to make it easier for users to access
valuable resources such as a digital library, admission form, admission requirements, and
admission results. The system is web-based, which provides the users with numerous benefits.
Communication is not the only advantage, but many other advantages are considered, such as
system availability and flexibility for users to interact with the system at any time and from any
location, easy access to vast information, easy application process, and security. In the eyes of a
user, a website is a sign of viability and stability; this is why having a website for the institution
is essential. Another great reason to have a website for an institution is that it is one of the most
cost-effective ways to build a reputation. Furthermore, having a website allows current and
potential users to assess the value concerning their needs without having to visit the institutions
Before the pandemic, school websites only featured basic information such as a welcome
page, significant dates, and a short description of the institution. The COVID-19 restrictions have
necessitated adapting to online means of communication, which has evolved the websites into a
repository of all information regarding the school's students, employees, and parents, both
current and former (Kemp, 2021). A parent's initial stop for research is now a school website,
rather than going to the school and viewing the facility in person.
According to Bennett (2019), parents and students physically entered a school building
before. Due to the pandemic, changes were applied to the usual. School websites allow the
parents, students, and staff applicants to have a virtual tour around the school. Virtual tours take
place on a school's website, and the content on that website provides a significant initial
impression. First impressions are an opportunity to highlight the school's greatest attributes and
demonstrate how inviting the school community is to all stakeholders, including parents,
students, staff, and community members. After making a great first impression, the website can
dismissal due to poor weather. To each of these stakeholders, the website can successfully
explain the school's vision and mission, as well as its strengths and offerings. In effect, the school
The proper design has become a critical element needed to engage website and mobile
application users. However, little research has been done to determine the exact aspects that go
into creating a successful website or mobile application. According to Larry Ludwig (2022)
Using Wix, like other popular website builders, is similar to leasing and personalizing an
apartment in a gated community rather than purchasing and owning your own home. You have
authority over the decor, cleaning, and other aspects of living, but the property owner is in charge
of the construction, plumbing, security, and infrastructure. That notion is crucial since
convenience and control are frequently mutually exclusive. Wix is a publicly listed firm that
works globally with well-established legal, privacy, payments, and product standards. There are
numerous fly-by-night or amateur-run website builders to choose from. Wix, on the other hand,
is not one of them. They have drawbacks and costs, but their safety and reputation are strong
assets. Wix's servers host all of Wix's websites. This means a couple of things. Of course, this
means that the servers have been optimized for Wix websites. Wix experts are in charge of
keeping your site running smoothly. It also implies that the security of your website is in the
hands of professionals.
measures on their campuses (Friedland, 1999). These security measures were intended to provide
programs for their particular situation. Using a planned approach to implementing security
measures by conducting an assessment may give schools a more balanced and rational array of
security measures. Hylton (1998) indicated his belief in this concept when he said, “Effective
school planning begins with a commitment to make safety/security a top priority, and integrate
security programs and systems into the school infrastructure” (p. 1). Schools that make the
decision to plan for security using an assessment tool must then decide what the assessment will
include. Trump (1999) said, “Assessment methods should include structured interviews with
members of the school staff and community, analysis of policies and procedures, review of crime
and discipline trends, examination of physical facilities, and an analysis of other school and
community information sources” (p. 22). These assessments should be comprehensive and
provide insights that can be used now and in the future. Trump recommended that assessments
should be comprehensive when he maintained, “The final assessment report should provide
findings and recommendations that can be used in both short and long-term planning” (p. 23).
Hylton (1998) believes that these plans should include ways to integrate security measures into
schools in a subtle way that minimizes the negativity associated with the implementation.

schools were usually visited in person. In light of this, the researchers have developed the
website in such a way that makes it navigable and appealing to the user. The website will also

The website was created using WiX or Wix.com, and the researchers chose a simple design to
view and understand. Non-students interested in HCPSMSHS can use this to learn about what is
available in their respective schools. Due to the pandemic, the researchers were only able to collect
data from alumni via Google Forms, and through this approach, they were able to acquire 27
respondents.
Recommendation
In accordance with the study's discussion and conclusion, the following recommendations
are thus made for further exploration and enhancement of the project as a result of this research:
1. Future researchers may improve data gathering by reaching out to the respondents on
other social media platforms to increase the confidence level for complete and accurate
data.
2. Future researchers may improve the accessibility of the website by editing and fixing the
5. Future researchers may improve the inclusivity of the website by adding language options
The focus of this project is to create a webpage featuring Honorato C. Perez Sr. Memorial
Science High School. The researchers will mention and explain a variety of significant details
about the school. The website has three major sections. The Home section where the School's
logo and short history will be tackled. The About section where the School's uniqueness,
facilities, clubs and organizations, School's and student's milestones will be featured. And the
Campus life section which will be divided into two subsections, Resources and Alumni Tracing.
The respondents of the Alumni tracing part have to deal with the scope of questionnaires
provided by the teachers. This project estimated time of completion is in between the third and
fourth quarter of this semester, School year 2021-2022.
The research tool that will be used by the researchers to conduct the Alumni Tracing is
questionnaire (via google forms). The researchers will gather the data from the people who are
associated with the given batch and section via online surveys. This study is limited to be
conducted online for the reason that this pandemic still occurs. The research will not cover the
respondents from other batches and sections aside from the ones given by the research adviser.
This project aims to create an informative website about Honorato C. Perez Sr. Memorial
Science High School.
