The main purpose of this study was to obtain a general view of the teachers satisfaction with the various factors affecting the teaching function. It also aimed to get the faculty profile of St. Joseph's School. There were ten areas examined to determine the degree of satisfaction, namely: faculty satisfaction with: 1) the administration 2) their colleagues 3) the students 4) salaries 5) faculty evaluation 6) class schedule 7) student behavior 8) faculty benefits 9) their job 10) school facilities and services. A questionnaire was used to gather data from 23 teacher-respondents of St. Joseph's School. It was composed of two parts. The first part contained items which were constructed to gather information which would give the personal and professional background of the teachers, a sort of faculty profile. The second part consisted of items which were intended to obtain the teachers degree of satisfaction with various factors affecting the teaching function. The data gathered were then tallied, tabulated, and analyzed. The overall mean of all the mean scores of the ten areas is 3.89. This combined mean represents the general level of satisfaction teachers have with St. Joseph's School. If the areas with scores above or below the combined mean are considered as high or low satisfaction respectively, then five of the areas could be identified as those regarded with high satisfaction by the teachers. Relatively, five could also be identified as those regarded with low satisfaction. A closer examination reveals that the priority areas for improvement have those pertaining to salaries and faculty benefits, followed by school facilities and services, then class schedule, and student quality.
