There are nine Basic Education High Schools in Pale Township. In this study, the samples were (9) principals, (236) teachers and (712) students from all Basic Education High Schools. The questionnaires were used as instruments to collect the appropriate data. There is one instrument for principals and students and two instruments for teachers. The first instrument for teachers (Q1) includes Organizational Climate Description Questionnaire (OCDQ) developed by Haplin and Croft (1963, cited in Chen, 1990). The second instrument for principals, students and teachers (Q2) is to measure teachers’ performance developed by Raza (2010) in order to obtain information for the study. In order to analyze the data obtained, Pearson-product moment correlation coefficient and descriptive statistics were computed. The result of the study indicated that the perception of the teachers on school climate was at high level. With regard to teachers’ performance, the perception of principals, students and teachers were also high level. According to ANOVA result, there was significant difference between principals, students and teachers’ perception on teachers’ performance. It was found that there was significant relationship between school climate and teachers’ performance with Pearson r of .658 at 0.001 level. The effect size of r = .658 was considered large effect size. According to simple linear regression, it can be concluded that 43% of teachers’ performance can be predicted from school climate. These results indicate that school climate is one factor that increases teachers’ performance in high schools.
