Relationship Resilience Academic Achievement Orphaned Adolescents Public Secondary Schools Homabay Town Sub-County MASTER OF ARTS in Counselling Psychology Low academic resilience may result in poor academic achievement. The goal of this research was to evaluate the association between resilience and academic success among orphaned teenagers attending public secondary schools in Homa Bay Town Sub-County. The purpose of the research was to examine the individual resilience elements of orphaned adolescents, evaluate their academic success, and determine the link between individual resilience factors and academic accomplishment. Ex-post facto and descriptive correlational strategies were used in this investigation. From the population of 29 public secondary schools in Homa Bay Town Sub-County, 282 pupils and 29 principals were picked using simple random selection. Using SPSS version 28.0, data were generated and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Pearson correlation was used to evaluate the strength of the association between the variables of the research. p<0.05 indicates a correlation between resilience (Socio-Economic Factors, Protective Factors, and mentoring) and academic success among orphaned adolescents attending public secondary schools. The study recommended that the government allocates a given percentage of capitation funds to support total orphans and follow-up on management. For the academic performance of total orphans to be improved, there is a need of coming up with a system that would identify the total orphans and going deeper to understand the status of the caregivers and their behavior. There is also a need for more research on total orphans’ academic performance especially by external bodies.
