Background: Blood transfusion is one of the most crucial needs of the society in multiple diseases and injuries. Unexpectedly, thirty-eight countries in Africa got below ten donations per one thousand populations. Shortage of blood is one of the reasons for the death of mothers in sub-Sahara, including Ethiopia. Although the need for blood is high in our country Ethiopia, the number of volunteer donors is still very low. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was conducted on Gedebano secondary and preparatory students using pre-tested self-administered questionnaires. Multi-stage sampling technique was employed to select study participants. Result: Out of 392 participants, 182(46.43%) were knowledgeable whereas 210(53.57%) had poor knowledge about blood donation. The majority, 372(94.9%) of the study participants had never donated blood. Conclusion: the study showed that less than half of the study participants were knowledgeable and the majority had a poor practice of blood donation.
