This study aims to analyze the role of school principal leadership in improving the effectiveness of educational facilities and infrastructure management in senior high schools in Bandung City. This study uses a quantitative approach with descriptive analysis methods. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 50 respondents consisting of teachers and educational staff at several senior high schools in Bandung City. The results show that the leadership of the principal has a significant effect on the effectiveness of educational facilities and infrastructure management. Principals who apply a participatory, communicative, and visionary leadership style are able to improve the coordination, utilization, and maintenance of educational facilities more effectively. In addition, the involvement of teachers and staff in the management process also strengthens a shared sense of responsibility for the sustainability of school facilities. The conclusion of this study confirms that the effectiveness of facility and infrastructure management is highly dependent on the quality of principal leadership. Therefore, improving the managerial and leadership competencies of principals needs to be a focus in efforts to develop the quality of education.
