INTRODUCTION Nowadays, the demand for high managerial competence and creativity for the principal to carry out his duties is one of the critical factors for the success of school programs (Kompri, 2017, p. 23). Because the Principal, as an educator and manager, has a fundamental and strategic role in implementing education in the school and the surrounding environment. The challenge for a principal is to be a driver or pioneer of institutional change in the school he leads. According to Blachard in Syafaruddin (2002: 62), the organization's development and productivity are achieved by effective leadership. It will produce quality on an ongoing basis in educational institutions. Principals who have superior managerial abilities in carrying out tasks by their competencies, have commendable personalities, and have a complete understanding of educational insights will be able to improve the quality of education and benefit the environment in particular and the broader community in general. One of the primary duties and functions of the principal as a manager is to manage and develop all the school’s resources. In which the school environment is very influential on success in managing education. A clean, beautiful, comfortable, and shady environment will make people feel at home. The purpose of National Education, as mandated in the 1945 Constitution, is to educate the nation's life, and develop the whole Indonesian people, being people who have faith and piety in God Almighty, have a noble character, have knowledge and skills, are physically and spiritually healthy, have matured and independent personality, and involved in the community and national responsibility (UU Sisdiknas No 20, 2003). There earlier research conducted by Meila Hayudiyani et al. in 2020, entitled The Principal's Strategy to Improve the Quality of Education Through School Excellence Programs stated that the quality of schools is described in learning programs that become brands to be offered to the community as users of educational services provided by schools. This study aims to describe the principal's strategy for improving the quality of education at school through school excellence programs based on spirituality, learning, and life skills. The study's results found that school excellence programs can impact improving the quality of education (Hayudiyani, 2020, pp. 89-95).
