<![CDATA[General Background: Digital transformation requires educational institutions to integrate technology into leadership, management, learning, and information systems. Specific Background: At SMA Hang Tuah 4 Surabaya, digital leadership and Afresto Information Technology are positioned as key components supporting school performance. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have provided limited evidence on the combined role of digital leadership and Afresto Information Technology in explaining school performance at the senior high school level in Surabaya. Aims: This study examines the relationships of digital leadership and Afresto Information Technology with school performance and their simultaneous contribution. Results: Using a quantitative approach and SEM-PLS with SmartPLS 3.0, the model produced an R² of 0.821. Digital leadership showed a positive and significant relationship with school performance (β = 0.298, t = 5.882, p = 0.000), while Afresto Information Technology showed a stronger relationship (β = 0.688, t = 14.652, p = 0.000). Novelty: The study demonstrates the dominant role of Afresto Information Technology alongside digital leadership within one school performance model. Implications: The findings support integrated digital leadership and technology utilization in school management. Key Findings Highlights Afresto Information Technology showed the strongest contribution within the model. Digital leadership demonstrated a positive and significant relationship with school performance. The model explained 82.1% of the variance in school performance.
