The sample size was 30. The sample was selected by purposive sampling technique. The data was collected by using questionnaire and 3 Point Likert scale developed by the researcher. A structured teaching programme on physiological changes during puberty was administered to the school students and was evaluated. Results: The finding shows that majority 29 (96.7%) had adequate knowledge and 01 (3.3%) had moderate knowledge and 27 (90%) had positive attitude and 2 (6.3%) had neutral attitude. There was no significant association between the post test knowledge of school students among physiological changes during puberty with the selected demographic variable.
