Answer:
The senior high school is part of the Department of Education's most recent educational program, the K-12. K-12 refers to the additional years in high school that students need to complete before moving on to the college program.

During this time, they will gain specialization and specialized skills depending upon the skills they have and the degree program they are planning to get. In a way, it is also the stage where students are being honed and prepared to be competitive and learn the necessary knowledge that they may need in their college.
