This case study examines the best practices of Brigada Eskwela at Celso F. Falcotelo National High School (CFFNHS), a public high school in Macabari, Barcelona, Sorsogon. Brigada Eskwela, the National Schools Maintenance Week in the Philippines, relies on community involvement and volunteerism to prepare public schools for the academic year. CFFNHS has been recognized for its exemplary implementation of Brigada Eskwela, which encompasses strategic planning, dynamic implementation, and thorough evaluation. This study identifies key practices such as community engagement, comprehensive needs assessments, collaborative team formation, strategic partnerships, and continuous evaluation. A one-day seminar was developed and implemented to sustain these best practices, highlighting the importance of ongoing stakeholder engagement, training, and capacity building. The findings suggest that effective communication, innovative approaches, and a commitment to continuous improvement drive the success of Brigada Eskwela at CFFNHS. Recommendations for sustaining these practices include regular seminars, strengthened partnerships, constant improvement mechanisms, and broader community engagement. These insights provide a valuable framework for other schools aiming to enhance their Brigada Eskwela initiatives.
