Abstract

This study aims to describe the principal's leadership in implementing Pancasila character education at SMA Negeri 1 NA IX X. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach utilizing observations, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that the principal adopts transformational and participative leadership styles, prioritizing exemplary behavior, openness, and humanistic communication. Strategic initiatives include character planning based on student needs, the integration of Pancasila values into both curricular and extracurricular programs, and structured periodic evaluations. Furthermore, the principal fosters sustainable collaboration among teachers, parents, and the school committee. Key supporting factors consist of strong institutional commitment, a conducive school culture, and active parental engagement. Conversely, inhibiting challenges include the adverse effects of social media, teachers' instructional time constraints, and varying levels of student awareness. In conclusion, visionary and collaborative school leadership serves as a fundamental cornerstone in cultivating an institutional culture firmly anchored in Pancasila values.
