Psychological distress in high school teachers is intensified due to the high demand producing different symptomatologies altering their mental health, therefore, the research objective is to determine the psychological distress in high school teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional and non-experimental study, with a population of 147 secondary school teachers who completed a questionnaire of sociodemographic data and the scale for psychological distress. In their results, 41,5 % (n=61) of secondary school teachers have high distress, 29,9 % (n=44) medium distress and 28,6 % (n=42) low distress.
