This study aims to explore the leadership role of school principals, especially at the vocational secondary education level, in ensuring the quality of education during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research was conducted using the desk study method with a qualitative descriptive approach. The results showed that the leadership role of vocational high schools in ensuring the quality of education was carried out through 3 main things: LMS development, LMS use training, and online teacher performance assessment. This leadership practice can be categorized as a form of adaptive leadership that adapts to the conditions of the distance learning process that must be carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic.
