<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the role of the principal in ensuring the success of the cultural literacy program at SMPN 1 Rantau Selatan. Cultural literacy is seen as a strategic effort to shape students' understanding of the diversity of local and national wisdom in a global context. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Primary data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, and students of grade VIII.3, while secondary data came from relevant literature. The results of the study indicate that the principal plays an important role as a decision maker, motivator, supervisor, and collaborative facilitator, especially with PPKn teachers in the implementation of cultural literacy activities. This role contributes to strengthening students' understanding of the values ??of diversity, nationalism, and tolerance that are aligned with the Independent Curriculum and the Pancasila Student Profile, especially in the "Global Diversity" dimension. Thus, the principal's leadership is a key factor in building a sustainable cultural literacy ecosystem in schools.]]>
