This research is motivated by the importance of principal leadership in improving teacher performance as one of the main factors determining the quality of education. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of principal leadership, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and examine its contribution to improving teacher performance at SMA Negeri 1 Amurang. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results show that the principal's leadership is integrative by combining transformational, instructional, and democratic styles. This leadership has proven effective in improving teacher performance through the implementation of continuous academic supervision, providing motivation and appreciation, and the implementation of open and harmonious communication. However, weaknesses remain in the utilization of learning technology and innovative teaching methods. Therefore, ongoing efforts to develop digital competency and teacher professionalism are needed. Therefore, principal leadership plays a significant role in improving teacher performance through effective management and creating a positive work environment.
