Digitalization holds significant potential for preserving local wisdom values in character education at schools. This study analyzes the role of digitalization in supporting the preservation of local cultural values at SMA Negeri 1 Pulau Morotai. A qualitative approach using case study methods was employed, involving in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. Findings indicate that digitalization can serve as a solution to document and integrate local cultural values, such as the Tide-Tide and Masohi traditions, into the character education curriculum. Key challenges include limited understanding of local culture among students and teachers and inadequate technological resources. A participatory and inclusive technology-based strategy is recommended to foster a young generation with strong character and pride in their cultural heritage.
