Descriptive survey research design was used for the study and a sample of fifty six (56) JSS 2 students, were selected using simple random and purposive sampling techniques.

The instrument was validated by three experts from Faculty of Education, Taraba State University, Jalingo. Test retest method of reliability was used and a reliability value of 0.87 was obtained. Chi-square and t-test statistics were used to test the two null hypotheses. The results showed that orientation service had significant influence on preservation of school resources. The study concludes that orientation service had significant influence on preservation of school resources among JSS 2 students of Government Science Secondary School, Jalingo.
