Background: School sanitation plays an important role in supporting the implementation of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB) among students. Inadequate sanitation facilities may hinder students from maintaining healthy behaviors and increase the risk of health problems.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship between school sanitation and CHLB compliance among Grade VII A and VII B students.

Method: This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design involving 38 Grade VII students selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires. Data were analysed using the chi-square test.

Results: Most respondents were classified as having poor school sanitation (34/89.5%), while 4 respondents (10.5%) were classified as having good school sanitation. Most respondents were also classified as non-compliant with CHLB (34/89.5%), while 4 respondents (10.5%) were compliant. The chi-square test showed a significant relationship between school sanitation and CHLB compliance (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: School sanitation was significantly associated with CHLB compliance among Grade VII students. Improving sanitation facilities and strengthening health education may support the implementation of CHLB in the school environment.
