This paper assessed the extent to which students practice 21st-century skills, focusing on areas such as information and technology literacy, critical thinking and problem-solving, entrepreneurship and innovation, social responsibility and leadership, and career awareness relative to sex, grade level, strand, family monthly income, and parent’s highest educational attainment. This also correlated with their demographics and 21st-century skills practice. Using the descriptive-correlational design, this was responded to by 141 stratified randomly sampled students employing the standardized questionnaire. Data analysis used mean, standard deviation, and point biserial correlation. Generally, they have a great extent of 21st-century skills practice where career consciousness was rated highest while critical thinking and problem-solving were the lowest. All demographics were rated to a great extent. Meanwhile, there was no relationship between their demographics and 21st-century skills practice. In conclusion, curricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular programs and activities of the Catholic school provide opportunities for the continuous improvement of the development and practice of the 21st century skills of the students. That is why, given the implications, it is recommended that the institution should ensure that all these avenues for learning are in place.
