Abstract: The purpose of this study is to identify the challenges faced by senior high school teachers in Kalawit District as well as to identify the alternative methods they use to address the aforementioned challenges. The descriptive-survey type of research method is used by questionnaire as the main instrument to gather the required data from selected respondents which includes teachers, principals and students. The study shows that the most dominant challenge faced by the respondents was the lack of facility particularly the lack or absence of speech laboratory. Meanwhile, for the second challenge regarding instructional equipment, the lack of television predominates. On the other hand, the lack of relevant training and certificates prevails when it comes to teachers qualification. The challenges mentioned above are applied by alternative solutions. For the lack of facility, respondents preferred to contact DepEd and local government officials to fund and seek assistance. Regarding the lack of teaching equipment, the respondents said that they only use laptops, smartphones, tablets and projectors as a substitute for television. Meanwhile, regarding the qualification of the teacher related to the lack of training and certificate or training, accepting the applicant in SHS even without TMC and later sending them to the relevant trainings for the subject to be taught is the solution to the problem. Overall, there was no difference in the perceptions of teacher, principal and student when classifying their responses on the weight of the challenge faced in senior high school implementation as well as on the frequency of using the aforementioned alternative methods. Thus, the stated hypothesis that there is no difference in the response of the respondents regarding the problem posed is accepted
