This study used descriptive research design to determine the relationship of the managerial competence and school performance of the diocesan priests as basis for a succession plan. It was administered to the seventy-two (72) respondents using a standardized research instrument. Total enumeration was utilized to determine respondents among directors and principals, while purposive sampling was employed to determine the teacher respondents. The Mean and Standard Deviation were used to determine the level of managerial competence, school performance, and their difference. Moreover, a correlation coefficient was employed to determine the level of managerial competence of diocesan priests to the level of School Performance in the PEAC certification assessment. Results showed that managerial competence of the diocesan priest were very highly competent as perceived by the school directors and principals while in the perception of teachers they were highly competent. Additionally, school performance showed a High level of compliance in PEAC certification assessment. It is revealed that the managerial competence of diocesan priests falls in the different levels of PPSH domains. Moreover, it was found out that there was no correlation between the managerial competence and school performance. It is recommended that Diocesan priests may focus on several areas where they are more challenged in managing the school. Thus, a more dynamic succession plan for diocesan priests is recommended to prepare them to assume the responsibilities in managing the school.
