ABSTRACT. This study analyzes the relationship between student body organization practices and leadership transformation among 87 student leaders from selected empowered secondary schools in Agusan del Norte, Philippines, using a descriptive research design and total enumeration. Organizational practices: participatory democracy (M = 4.32, SD = 0.48), servant leadership (M = 4.45, SD = 0.41), and collaboration (M = 4.38, SD = 0.44); were rated high. Leadership transformation was also high in the personal (M = 4.40, SD = 0.43) and interpersonal (M = 4.36, SD = 0.46) domains, but moderate in the community domain (M = 3.62, SD = 0.57). Pearson correlation analysis indicated significant positive relationships between organizational practices and leadership transformation (r = 0.58– 0.71, p < 0.01). These results indicate generally favorable outcomes but identify weaker performance in community engagement and inconsistencies in participatory implementation. Targeted leadership interventions are recommended to strengthen authentic student governance and community- oriented leadership development.
